Querida Sybille,

"Hay que distinguir con precisión dos elementos: 

el que está destinado a funcionar por necesidad 

práctica y el que solo pretende expresar 

directamente la idea pura" (Karl Friedrich Schinkel).

Abrazos,

Dear Martin,

"A building should contain the elements of the 

poetic and the past." (Karl Friedrich Schinkel)

All the best,

Dear John,

"Two elements must be distinguished precisely: the one intended to work for practical necessity and the one that is meant only to express directly the pure idea" (Karl Friedrich Schinkel)

This very idea of architecture influenced years later the work of Mies van der Rohe with the ideological opposition of form and function.

Best wishes,
R
