TRADITION IN ARCHITECTURE.


Forum: The European designers nave

| he new art" that in architecture, where
aw must reign at least In a measure.
| hey have allowed tho freedom of the
| aew spirit in design to degenerate into
license and even anarchy. The reason OF
his is clear. Tradition, which has al
ways. in architectural styles. ministered
.or a while 70 progress in refinement. by
concentrating all effort upon the perfect
ing of the "details of the style. has Just as
uniformly IN the end led to s~terility in
lesign and then to a ma reaction. This
IS what IS. taking place in France. Bel
GUM, Germany and Austria, where the
too academic formality Of the long-ac-
repted classic revival has bred WEAKNESS
and revolt.
In our own land VIC have suffered more
from the absence OF traditions than from
their ~desp0tism. American architecture
has only in recent years begun to learn
The value, and master the use for our W
lpecial requirements, Of the forms and
details OF the Renaissance and classic
fevivals. of which the French and Ger
mans have become SO tired. Our problem
has been how to evolve order out OF the
chaos of styles: how to bring the too free
n~dividualisn Of an architects efforts.
and the endless variety OF our changing
requirements, under the harmonizing in-
auence of unifying principles Of taste and
'tyle. 1t In not more variety. but greater
anity. that our architecture has needed;
lot greater freedom. u more restraint.
The last ten years have witnessed q
aotabTs advance In this direction. due. no
aoubt. IN part at least, to the influence
II the American schools Of architecture
and the Paris Ecole des Beaux-Arts with
heir thorough training in the principles
II sound composition and rational plan
aing. and the emphasis they place on the
monumental and artistic handling Of the
masses Of q design. That their training
results in n 10 mere slavish repetition OF
nackneyed and traditional forms Is seen
IN the freshness and freedom Of our
adaptations Of the historic styles of the
Renaissance of u special needs. Very
few of u most successful architectural
works of recent years could be by any
chance mistaken for European buildings.
Under these conditions there could be nc
occasion for an artistic revolt like that
which has produced the art nouveau In
Europe. But as every European fashion
% likely sooner or later to become the
fashion or the fad on this side of the
ocean,, IL speaks well for the taste of the
public and the good sense Of the archi-
iects Of the United States that they have
aisccrned the distinction between the de-
mands Of architecture and those of the
minor arts. and have refused to allow in
.heir buildings. to any appreclable extent,
the vagaries OF q movement whose proper
!aeld and whose really successful achieve
ments lie in the domain of the art Of small
objects.
