Speer intended to produce this result by avoiding the elements of modern construction as steel girders and reinforced concrete, which are subject to weathering and by designing his buildings to withstand the impact of the wind even if the roofs and ceilings were so neglected that they no longer braced the walls.

Art is not the vessel of immortal truth, whose purpose is to "instruct by pleasing": it is a decorator of the useful.
Art could profit by advances in industry – the use of photography in portrait painting was the most often-cited example – and industry borrowed liberally from the arts to lend grace to utility.

Preparations for Czechoslovak participation at the 1937 "Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la vie Moderne" [International Exposition of Arts, Crafts and Sciences in Modern Life] in Paris were running behind schedule in part because the Seine had flooded the exhibition grounds.
Then, only a small team was involved in the preparations and the exhibition's success was based on the careful selection of a small number of exhibits and their ideal presentation.
This failure was all the more painful because prior to 1937 serious consideration was being given at the highest ministerial levels to holding an international exhibition in Prague in 1942.
