Architectural Copying
Not Always Satisfying

Slavish copying OF traditional
Architectural compositions and de-
tails and conscious effort TO make
them fit new living and economic
conditions bring neither Satisfac-
ton nor progress, it is pointed out
by FILA officials. The logical an
Swer to an enduring type of archi-
lecture appears TO be found in
continued development of gener-
ally accepted forms. 1t is an
evolutionary process which does
not discard the good Of the past
but adds new vitality by meeting
modern needs.

According 10 the United States

the most widely used material for

mineral wool is installed in the
form of pre-fabricated bats.
Smell said that bait form

such AS that produced by Johns
Manville, is the most efficient type
of insulation for new construction
