“The
survival of man in more than physical matter, is guaranteed only by the grace
of genius, by the chance appearance of a creative energy, transcending the
achievements of the group. The measure of this genius is given by its
singularity that lacks patterns adaptable to generalization. Schoenberg in
music, Joyce in literature, Mondrian in painting, and Le Corbusier in
architecture stand alone in this century”.

Moholy-Nagy advierte que, aunque el sistema posee una elegancia matemática y una claridad conceptual innegables, corre el riesgo de convertirse en una herramienta rígida si se aplica sin sensibilidad. La arquitectura, sugiere, no puede reducirse únicamente a proporciones ideales; debe responder también al contexto, la cultura y la vida cotidiana.
