The Prophecy of Architecture

There is an architectural movement that is influential throughout Europe, and even in countries that believe they are outside this movement, tastes are directed in a certain direction. Are Italian architects aware of this?" "New architecture in Italy was born with foreign-sourced associations." "In our opinion, Italian 'Rationalism' is dead. It was born out of an artificial need for novelty or a desire to imitate similar movements abroad, and it has not been able to go beyond being a document of mental unrest that failed to consistently define the symptoms of the problem."
