ALUMINIUM
AND
Movements in architecture have always arisen from the development of a single, simple idea. The gothic arch inspired the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages....the invention of electric elevators made possible the up-thrusting of tall buildings along the skylines of the world.
Today the wonder is aluminium.... the metal which is light but strong, cheap yet of a functional beauty in keeping with our time.....and the simple idea of the use of the ex- truded section.
