that Dr. Gropius had developed the hits and suggestions in this essay on this subject. It is a critical study for this moment. At one time I thought that maybe architects has limited the scope of their training too narrowly in relating it to building, especially when I saw them venturing into other fields of design such as furniture, decoration, poetry and so forth, but I see now that I was not right. The designer for industry must be placed alongside the architect, with a training equivalent in character, if directed towards another end, and with a status and authority equivalent too.
