With foreword by Requa. "Architecture can be tersely defined as, "the science of planning, and the art of designing structures." Primarily, architecture is a science, a problem of engineering and mathematics. A building cannot approach perfection, either from the standpoint of utility or art, if the plan and structural requirements are made subservient to it s design and decorative treatment. Secondarily, architecture is an art, but it cannot be classed with the fine arts if it is fettered with dogmas and formulas, nor it its products fail to satisfy the functional demands."
