BUILDERS OF THE FUTURE.
“ft is common ground to-day in architecture that the engineer is producing material which the architect has not yet learned to use. Reinforced concrete is an obvious example. Rut the remedy is not for the architect, working alone, to alter the work of the engineer working alone. It. is lor the engineer and architect to work together. In Plato’s ideal state, philosophers were kings and kings pnilosopliors. In bridge-building, under ideal conditions, architects ■ would la* engineers and engineers architects, hailing that, engineers and architects must cooperato—and they must co-operate while a design still remains only a paper conception. It is lor public authorities, who pay these competing pipers, to insist on an harmonious tune. That, if we understand it aright, is the real gist of this very interesting report.”—’Hie Royal I'ino Arts Commission.
