"The world wa world war represents not the triumph but the birth of democracy. The true ideal of democracy-the rule of a people by the demos or group soul-is a thing unrealized. How then is it possible to consider or discuss an architecture of democracy-the shadow of a shade? It is not possible to do so with any degree of finality but by an intention of consciousness upon this juxtaposition of ideas-architecture and democracy-signs of the times may yield new meanings relations may emerge between things apparently unrelated and the future always existent in ever y present moment may be evoked by that strange magic which resides in the human mind. Architecture at its worst as at its best reflects always a true image of the thing that produced it; a building is revealing even though it is false just as the face of a liar tells the thing his words endeavor to conceal. This being so let us make such architecture as is ours declare to us our true estate."
