"One of the outstanding achievements of the new
constructional technique has been the abolition
of the separating function of the wall. Instead
of making the walls the element of support, as
in a brick-built house, our new space-saving
construction transfers the whole load of the
structure to a steel or concrete framework.
Thus the role of the walls becomes restricted to
that of mere screens stretched between the
upright columns of this framework to keep out
rain, cold, and noise. ... Systematic technical
improvement in steel and concrete . are steadily
reducing the area occupied by supporting
members. This, in turn . allows rooms to be
much better lit. It is, therefore, only logical
that the old type of windowa hole that had to
be hollowed out of the full thickness of a
supporting wall should be giving place more and
more to the continuous horizontal casement ..
And as a direct result of the growing
preponderance of voids over solids, glass is
assuming an ever greater structural
importance....In the same way the flat roof is
superseding the old penthouse roof with its tiled
or slated gables.
