Oh, The Classicists Hate The Modernists, And The Modernists Hate The Classicists…
Witold Rybczynski: "Architects are unbending in their judgments. My Modernist friends hold multipaned windows, ogee moldings, and wallpaper beneath contempt; my Classicist friends deride bare walls, uncomfortable furniture, and pipe railings… Why are architects so dogmatic? Partly, it's because architecture is a zero-sum game." Slate 02/04/09
