"Working with the grid system means submitting to laws of universal validity. The use of the grid system implies

• the will to systematize
• the will to penetrate to the essentials, to concentrate
• the will to cultivate objectivity instead of subjectivity
• the will to rationalize the creative and technical production processes
• the will to integrate elements of colour, form, and material
• the will to achieve architectural dominion over surface and space
• the will to adopt a positive, forward-looking attititude
• the recognition of the importance of education and the effect of work devised in a constructive and creative spirit."
