Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward Heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.

Let us together create the new building of the future, which will be everything in one form: architecture and sculpture and painting.
