If we,
the architects of the West, wish to do great
and lasting work, we must dare to be simple….and
get back to the source of all architectural
strength-the straight line, the arch, the
cube and the circle,” Irving J. Gill
proclaimed in his 1916 The Craftsman magazine
article, “The Home of the Future.”
