The plain and distinct representation of the building parts, in conformity with their technical functions, provides possibilities for new forms in the details and the outward expression of buildings. This is the new challenge for architects today.Every architect has the duty to harness contemporary technical possibilities extensively and to exploit their artistic potential to create buildings that express the ethos of the modern world. This requires tact, restraint, respect for the surroundings, organic unity of building, space and construction, and a harmonious relationship between the articulation of interior spaces and the exterior form, in addition to fulfilling technological, organisational and economic demands. Even major artists with true creative drive are subject to these restrictions and are influenced by the spirit of the age. The clearer the artistic vision or the view of life of the artist, the more mature and rich the content of his work, and the longer it will endure as a beautiful object of true art for all time.
