page123from Nordic Architects Writes
But our building problems are so manifold
in comparison with the earlier times. Every day brings new materials and new
construction methods. And we ask: are our architects able to concentrate
themselves, to listen to the voice of our fundamental form? Do we have enough
creative power to build up our own style? Style, cannot be artificially made. It
comes or it does not come. But if it does come, it comes only through
intuition. Style grows as folk songs grow. People sing their songs, and those
songs which express deepest the best feeling of the nation remain as folk
songs. It is the fundamental form of the nation which sings through the soul of
the nation.
Therefore,
those architects who have the strongest imagination are not the strongest
leaders. They are those architects who feel deepest the silent song of the
fundamental form and who can express it in forms of truth. They are our
leaders. And they will build the foundation for the architecture of the future,
and the architects of the future will continue their work.
When we speak about our future architects,
we come directly to educational problems because the schools of architecture
have to take care of the architects of the future. I am not the right man to
discuss educational problems, because my experience in this line is limited to
the hard task of educating myself. The function of the school is to develop, besides
technical and historical instruction, in the students:
Their
artistic intuition;
Their
sense for the spirit of the time;
Their
instinct to translate the spirit of the time in an expressive architectural
form;
Their
sense for truth, ethics and logic in architecture;
Their
creative imagination.
Creative
because art is always creative in every moment and at every point. And the
devil of copying has to be kept far from the schools.
To
develop those things in the students is the problem of the schools. How to do
it, I do not know, and it is mostly very individual. But, I have a distinct
opinion as to how not to do it.
Do
not kill the intuition with theories. Art based on theories is dead art.
Do
not teach theories of proportions. They only disturb the sense for proportion. Theories
of proportions are only for arrived men to play with when they have leisure
time and do not like to play bridge. The gifted man does not need them. A man
without gifts cannot use them correctly.
Do
not teach theories of colour. They only mislead the sense for colour and,
besides, they are all wrong, at least for art purposes.
Do
not teach the students the Greek form language before they understand their own
form language. You do not teach your children Latin before they speak their
mother tongue.
Do
no teach style in connection with design. They only style you could possibly
use in connection with design is the contemporary. But there isn’t any! “But”,
