For those desirous of establishing a viable theory of architecture for their own era, it is generally agreed that great stimulus can be found in studying historical evidence and in speculating on the ideals and achievements of those who created this evidence.
This section of the article is concerned with architectural typology, with the role of society in determining the kinds of architecture, and with planning--the role of the architect in adapting designs to particular uses and to the general physical needs of human beings.
It is important to insist that the theory of architecture is concerned primarily with the attainment of certain environmental ideals rather than with their cost; for these two problems are philosophically distinct, as is clear if one considers such a concept as, for example, that of standardization.

 National Park Service: Rustic Architecture 1916-1942
This monograph grew out of a survey of historically and architecturally significant structures in the areas of the Western Region of the National Park Service (California, Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii).
The goal was to develop a history of the NPS rustic architecture movement, delineating its development.
Hence this paper attempts to relate rustic architecture to the history of the entire national park system.

 National Park Service: Rustic Architecture 1916-1942
Drury's opportunities for encouraging rustic architecture were limited, however, for during and after the war the NPS labored under a severely limited budget.
NPS rustic architecture was also specifically adapted to the pre-war situation in its intensive use of professional, skilled, and unskilled labor.
Rustic architecture was integral to the since-abandoned philosophy that national parks were distinct entities, separate from the rest of the nation.

By contrast, the distinctive mode of monument that became the signature for Lalitaditya's powerful dynasty in Kashmir used a gabled pent roof, as is well preserved on temples at Narastan, Pandrethan, or Payar from the eighth to tenth centuries (ibid.: 351-93), a form already marked on the doorway of the earlier temple at Laduv.
Percy Brown (1942), in his history of Indian architecture, placed these temples as a branch of Kashmir architecture, as also did James Harle (1986:197-8) in his Pelican History of Art volume.
Architecture could engage their creativity; and through their creative actions, temples could evolve in multiple ways.

If there is a Gandharan legacy in the Hindu temple architecture of subsequent centuries, it takes two paths: one, a unique tradition of temples with pyramidal roofs built in Kashmir from before the reign of Lalitaditya in the 8th century AD (Fig.
Both Percy Brown (1942) and James Harle (1986), for example, in their volumes on Indian architecture, place the Salt Range temples in chapters on the Kashmiri tradition.
Much of the architectural ornament in these temples is familiar to the Gandhara region and even the use of interior squinches and masonry domes is not new.

The building was intended to be part of a larger complex with an auditorium, art gallery, and museum that was never built (Woodbridge and Woodbridge 1992: 209).
Whether or not funds would every have been provided to erect the grandiose auditorium is quite dubious, but the location of a student union building by John Galen Howard blocking the access to the auditorium site from the central campus made the completion of Maybeck's scheme improbable.
American infatuation with new technologies found architectural expression in the elaborate movie houses of the 1920s and the automobile showroom.

Aldo Van Eyck's death robs Dutch architecture of a courageous and humanist champion.
These contacts, and his studies of modern art, literature and science were important: his recurring criticism of modern architecture was that utilitarian functionalism betrayed the larger Modernist project which was about consciousness.
Thus he also linked back to the very origins of architecture as he visited tribal cultures to study their impulses into built form.

He was nevertheless the most prolific architect practicing in Miami Beach in the late 1930s and early 1940s, building all types of commercial and residential buildings from the smallest house to the most lavish oceanfront hotels.
The result is the unique architecture of South Beach, as it is now known, the largely restored international vacation hotspot, and the country's first twentieth-century architectural district to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
But their research and writing is not limited to Art Deco architecture in Miami Beach alone-- Shulman and Lejeune look to the World's Fairs, the skyscrapers of New York, and the skylines of other twentieth-century cities, like Tel Aviv, Rio de Janeiro, and Casablanca.
