"This volume is intended to present the output and ideas of a constructor from 1923 to 1968. What were his guidelines? To take advantage of the most advanced methods of processing and make use of fresh materials in order to devise a new and immediate architecture adapted to the needs of the modern economy. Lastly, to contribute to -- and share in -- the creation of man's environment in the machine age, while preparing for its rapid adaptation to the changing needs of the future. In short: A dynamic urbanism. An architecture in accordance with the times."
