Question from Last Week:
Architecture Puzzler #307
"The engineer, inspired by the law of economy and governed by mathematical calculations, puts us in accord with universal law; he achieves harmony. The architect, by the arrangement of forms, realizes an order which is a pure creation of the spirit." Written in 1923, is this a quote by Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, or Eliel Saarinen?
