Consider everything in the nature of a hanging fixture a weakness, and naked radiators an abomination.

New York City is a great monument to the power of money and greed... a race for rent.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Now, of course, architecture is a blind spot of our life in America today. How many millions of students go to the university to be educated? They come away conditioned, not enlightened, and they know nothing of architecture, although they have a department somewhere around -- probably in the basement.
