"The world is so ordered that we must, in a material sense, lose everything we have and love, one thing after another, until we ourselves close our eyes."

Before modern man can gain control over the forces that now threaten his very existence, he must resume possession of himself. This sets the chief mission for the city of the future: that of creating a visible regional and civic structure, designed to make man at home with his deeper self and his larger world, attached to images of human nature and love.
