Excerpt from City Planning, Vol. 5: Official Organ of the American City Planning Institute, the National Conference on City Planning, January, 1929 Rarely has function been so perfectly expressed in form as in to-day's automobiles or in some of the latest monoplanes. By the same token many a recent grain elevator and power house arrest the imagina tion by their essential fitness, by their appearance of being stripped for action, and their technical requirements often add a picturesqueness of mass that is quite beautiful. Brooklyn Bridge through its beauty of line and feeling of fitness gives, as does the Parthenon, by these means a sense of repose and inevitableness.
