ABSTRACT
Architecture itself may be the enemy of society. Public projects and the construction industry have become nearly synonymous with evil. Architecture certainly possesses many negative aspects that make it easy to hate. Society needed architecture. More precisely, society needed acts of construction. That being the case, architecture, even though it already existed in excess, was not halted. The continued arousal of architecture was needed. Housing provided at low rents and with no difficulty was by no means effective in increasing the desire to work among Europeans. To raise their ambition to work and stimulate consumption, other measures such as the forced introduction of long-term vacations proved necessary. The measures adopted in the United States produced immediate results. The number of housing units constructed increased. Architecture was thought to involve temporal disconnection several times over. A building could be altered a bit at a time, leaving the framework as is.
