To discover anew implies discovering something new. Translate this into architecture and you’ll get new architecture – real contemporary architecture. Architecture is a constant rediscovering of constant human proportion translated into space. We must evolve a richer toll – a more effective way of approach – to solve the environmental problems our period poses today. These problems will not remain the same, but they concern the same man, and that is our cue.
Aldo Van Eyck 1959
