| Charles-Edouard Jeanneret | "Un
Architecte doit avoir un cerveau logique dans son crane; il a besoin d'etre
conscient des effets superficiels; il doit a la fois etre un scientifique
avec du coeur, un artiste et un erudit. JE LE SAIS, et personne ne me l'a
appris. Les Ancetres vous parleront si vous savez comment les consulter...
(A letter to L'Eplattenier, 1908) Je prends
a temoin le passe comme mon temoin, le passe qui a ete mon unique precepteur
et qui continue a etre mon maitre... Ces temoins du passe qui ont survecu
au passage des siecles possedent une valeur eternelle de l'espece humaine.
Le respect du passe est une attitude qui vient naturellement a ceux qui
creent; c'est une attitude d'amour et de gratitude... |

| Bernard Tschumi | "...the
rational Cartesian framework was then transgressed through the introduction
of distorted anthropomorphic forms with close kinship
to African masks. A mask was not literally represented in the elevation,
but rather operated as a palimpsest myteriously guiding the location of
the walls. The space was thus a dislocation induced by the forms of the
masks. The effect was to create within the rational space of the grid a
violent juxtaposition of perplexing spaces. The Villa Stein at Garches was
then considered as the prototype of modern architecture. Rather than a simple
fetish, the mask here served as subversion for the order of reason through
its spatial implications." (in Architecture and Transgression - Opposition 7, 1976-77) |
