 Eileen Gray, Lacquer and Architecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In 1929, on the publication of drawings of her house, E 1027, Eileen Gray wrote an essay criticizing avant-garde modernismís descent into the ìcold calculationsî of abstraction.
She complained that the ìAvant-garde does not consider the atmosphere that the inner life calls for.î She variously describes the interior atmosphere as ìorganic,î ìa symphony in which all inner forms of life are expressed,î and as a ìwhole that might extend and completeî the person who dwells within.
After years of work and thought invested into an architecture of experience her critique was less a polemic than a considered opinion backed up by knowledge, a knowledge gained in craft.
