Unifying architectural aesthetics with functional needs
The author considers buildings and their architectural mission as something more profound than mere creation of structures. He considers the architect to be someone who creates unique shapes and forms that are in connection with our world, with an understanding of both man’s need and emotions. According to the author, even though there has been a constructive effort towards mass-production of residence, the needs of man have been disassociated from the construct. 
The author not only criticizes the current architect and architecture, he also proposes a direction for the future of architectural design and practice by highlighting the essential elements that must be incorporated but are absent from the fast-changing construction world. He refers to the problems of light, mass, surface, plan and regulating lines as a few important considerations in architecture.
