Hamlin, Talbot | November 5, 1949 issue

The article focuses on the book "Architecture and the Spirit of Man," by Joseph Hudnut. Hudnut in these piercing yet gentle essays takes architecture away front the stylists, the propagandists, the technologists, the machine-worshipers, and gives it back to the people, to whom it rightly belongs. For he sees architecture not as technology and science, not as economics and sociology, but as an aft and a profession using all, those disciplines as tools for the better service and expression of the human spirit.
