architecture needs to show "more than bare essentials". to the full architectural maturity, both loyal to long-established standards of beauty and decidedly contemporary: “I believe that all architecture of historic significance was modern at the time it was built, emerging from its time and culture.” His most recent book ''Life without Beauty'' elaborates on importance of beauty in architecture which in the 20th century lost a battle to budget: “In Holland, the budget was the only subject. Many architects didn’t like the word “beauty”. He claims that ultimate measure for society or human being is not ability to make money, but its achievements and the beauty it has produced.
