“Em quase todas as tarefas relativas às formas há milhares de elementos que por vontade humana são forçados a trabalhar em harmonia. Só pela arte se pode alcançar essa harmonia.”
Nearly every design task involves tens, often hundreds, sometimes thousands of different contradictory elements, which are forced into a functional harmony only by man's will. This harmony cannot be achieved by any other means than those of art.
