Masters of Light: First Volume Twentieth-Century Pioneers Plummer H.
”The revolution in thought & feeling that gave rise to modernity transformed not only the form & space of our buildings, but their mood & atmosphere as well, manifesting a sensibility for light as well as a fresh understanding of people as metaphysical beings. Envisioned in art as well as science was a new kind of light, whose living energy could resonate inside an active, mobile, reflective subject, & change the human body & min, providing for the pioneers of twentieth-century architecture an expanded field  of human perception, & a medium to recover the spiritual dimensions of life in a modern age” Henry Plummer JA Japan 2003PB 420pp $A130.00
