‘As architecture is the art of ornament, it does not concern built ornament being illustrated in books. It is the manual ornament, the one from the books, which gave building an opportunity for architecture.’ Hij concludeert tenslotte: ‘Therefore I think we might better continue the literary tradition of architecture and its own imagination on paper as I intend do do, and simple make its manuals and treatises, in which the homogeneity of building, as offered by natural space, always breaks down into parts that can be contemplated, into the tactility of its detail and its extremely scaled-down and sharpened mouldings.’ (Wiederhall, nr. 1, jg. 1, 1986).
