Van Doesburg, in his few experiments in painting and architecture, promised spatial solutions in the construction of sculpture from flats and solids, but what he promised was neither painting, nor sculpture, nor architecture.
The sculptress' postulate from the last paragraph, that ''sculpture should be approached like an architectural problem'' and ''should involve laboratory studies in space management'' was followed by her use of the proportions of 'Spatial Composition 8' in designing the model of the 'functional nursery school' (ill.p.

 Modern Ulster Architecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Modern architecture is at least as old as the motor car; indeed its sources can be traced to the first industrial revolution and as far back as the mid-eighteenth century.
It was in 1951 that the Royal Society of Ulster Architects, with R.H. Gibson as president, celebrated its Golden Jubilee and was host to the annual conference of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
To some critics the virtues of this style were those of default; the architecture was not fussy and overdressed, it was not multicoloured, romantic or nostalgic, in short, it was everything that Victorian architecture was not.

The strange conceals the familiar: the cone the dome, the flat surface the apse, the rectangle the cross, the ridge of roof the rounded vault.
It may be observed in photographs of the nineteenth-century wooden churches at Van, which have now disappeared, and in the Ulu Jami mosque at Erzurum, where the dome has fallen in and has been re-placed by a makeshift 'dome' of wood, dwindling from a decagon to a hexagon, surmounted by a cupola.
The Armenians in their architecture undoubtedly drew inspiration both from East and from West, from Persia and from Anatolia, and with their inventive genius and craftsmanship evolved from it a style which was a creative synthesis of the two.

By examining the ways in which the people of Munich reconstructed the ruins of their historic buildings, created new works of architecture, dealt with surviving Nazi buildings, and erected new monuments to commemorate the horrors of the recent past, Rosenfeld identifies a spectrum of competing memories of the Nazi experience.
"In his fascinating history of Munich's postwar architectural reconstruction and social de-Nazification, Gavriel Rosenfeld shows how closely linked the clearing of both rubble and rabble from the German landscape were, and how closely Germany's postwar architectural landscape came to resemble its new democratic mindset."
