ABSTRACT
An all-glass building, fully exposed to sunlight, is a hotbox in our climate, and then the penalty one usually must pay for symbolism is to cower a large part of the time behind a Venetian blind, which robs the form of its aesthetic significance. Both suburb and metropolis need a regional form of government, working in private organizations as well as public forms, to reapportion their resources and facilities, so as to benefit the whole area. Architecture grows to self-consciousness and mature expression out of the elemental processes of building, mainly by concern over symbolism. Modern architecture, committed to the spirit of purity and of freedom, seems to look longingly in its search for the richness of form at the forbidden fruit of ornament. Form encompasses a harmony of systems, a sense of Order and that which characterizes one existence from another. Form has no shape or dimension.
