"This is the only type of architecture that can be referred to as truly "American," saving perhaps the unenvied skyscraper of the East. This latter, however, belongs to no school and knows no creed; it is not indigenous to the soil or produced by environment, native material, or climate. Instead, it defiles the heavens and cuts the landscape into futuristic nightmares of edge and angle.
By far the choicest flower of this renaissance style is the New Art Museum at Santa Fe. Recently completed, it is admired by all, architects and laymen alike.
