The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.

The house has to serve comfort. The work of art is revolutionary; the house is conservative.

The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not.

The work of art is brought into the world without there being a need for it. The house satisfies a requirement. The work of art is responsible to none; the house is responsible to everyone. The work of art wants to draw people out of their state of comfort.

The room has to be comfortable; the house has to look habitable.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century we abandoned tradition, it's at that point that I intend to renew it because the present is built on the past just as the past was built on the times that went before it.
