Le progrès technique aujourd’hui, dans sa fuite en avant, ne permet plus aux architectes que d’être ses expérimentateurs. Dans ce périlleux exercice, et privés des certitudes anciennes, il nous faut donc redoubler de vigilance pour que l’architecture garde un sens. Une société, autrefois, a été poussée à choisir, en toute connaissance des prouesses techniques et des raffinements décoratifs d’alors, de partir des besoins élémentaires de l’homme, d’étudier les matériaux présents, le climat, et de construire sans ornements, dans la plus stricte et élémentaire logique.
