The Greek idea of Architecture.

From the Architectural Record Magazine
The Greeks never had the idea that a
work of art could be created by rule Ttey
were realists to an eminent degree. and
believed only what their experience taught
them. (By the way. our schools exist solely
upon experience they have not gone through
the experiences of others.) For them, an
edifice had to please the eye and satisfy
their instructive and imperious desire to
be logical and logic demands that tho
forms shall be appropriate to the func-
lions: that Just as legs are intended for
walking. so supports ought to have some
thing to support.
