"(...) Incidentally it is most interesting to see how the different architects with whom you are acquainted react to the mention of your name. Your dear friend Mendelsohn for instance, admitted to knowing you but was most unenthusiastic. (...). [Mies van der Rohe] speaks of you with such enthusiasm as one of his most honored acquaintances. And Mies is vey seldom enthusiastic about other architects. In fact you and Corbusier are the only ones that receive praise from him. (...) Especially Mies hates this Zweckmassigkeit carried to extreme as it was in the Bauhaus before he came. He says Zweckmässigkeit is more subjective than rein Ästhetik. He has closed the Bauhaus for a month because the students were so politically minded after the regime of Hannes Meyer that they thought they could continue to run the school along their programmatic lines. Mies says he has no interest whatsoever in politics or programs but only in beautiful buildings, so he closed the school. (...) The Czechs lack discipline and direction. They have taken over modern architecture as a national thing, and have really no idea of architecture at all not to mention modern (,,,)" [17/09/(1930)]. "(...) It is very interesting that you and Miës van der Rohe should be the European architects to have received the most acclaim in our Exhibion. (...) I invariably recommend you to any interested people as I am sure that Mies would not fit in with our American way of doing things. Le Corbusier is rather disliked as he is considered too outré, and people instinctively dislike houses on stilts. (...) The Americans, as you can see by the catalogue, show up very badly. Frank Lloyd Wright was included only from courtesy and in recognition of his past contributions; Raymond Hood because some day he may be attracted into the fold by his opportunism; the Bowman Brothers because they are primarily steel engineers and might some day ardize a half-way decent steel hous; Neutra and Howe & Lescaze because they are the only successful modern architects in America (...)" [16/04/1932]. "(...) Mies has been in town for a week and we have had long discussions about Berlage and you and modern architecture. He has put up two more buildings since the one you saw illustrated in Built in USA which are still more "negative" than that one, if negative is the right word. Most architects and critics think that his slogan of "beinahe nichts" has now gone so far that there is really nichts. I don't know. I very much enjoy the rationale of it all, the lack of indeterminate dimensions and shapes, the clean, brushed-hair effecf of the cornice, the symmetry of the facade. (...) The detailing of the steel with the brick is clean and pleasing. History will tell us and tell us no doubt very soon (...)" [27/04/1946].
