A building cannot approach perfection, either from the standpoint of utility or art, if the plan and structural requirements are made subservient to it s design and decorative treatment. Secondarily, architecture is an art, but it cannot be classed with the fine arts if it is fettered with dogmas and formulas, nor it its products fail to satisfy the functional demands."
