Abstract

Abstract The fundamental thesis of this book is that the ultimate task of architecture is to act in favor of human beings – to interpose itself between people and the natural environment in which they find themselves in such a way as to remove the gross environmental load from their shoulders. The central function of architecture is thus to lighten the very stress of life. Its purpose is to maximize our capacities by permitting us to focus our limited energies upon those tasks and activities that are the essence of the human experience.
