"An architectural plan is not primarily made for the glorification of the architect. Neither is it a matter of elaborating buildings senselessly as a tribute to the vanity of human nature. If this were all, modern democracy would not hesitate to eliminate such an art by the simple expedient of neglect."
- Bernard Maybeck, 1917. from Kenneth H. Cardwell. Bernard Maybeck: Artisan, Architect, Artist. p37. |

| Thanks for the Maybeck quote, Kevin. It seems many architects and building designers don't quite identify with that thought process today. |
