. The Architect & engineer of California and the Pacific Coast . Bungalo, Colombo, Ceylon, It is also char-acteristic of us to love the imported—mad.e in Germany, fabricated in Paris, or designed in London—and we thereby nip in the bud the growing local character that tends to produce a n harmonious local work of art., The absurdity of this is shown by two recent examples — the Episcopal C a - thedral designed in England had to be practically redesigned upon arrival of the plans in San Francisco. A palatial hostelry was designed for Oakland by one of New Yorks best known hotel architects. Ultimately the design was turned over to a local firm to make fit home conditions. All ofthis means thatwe have local con-ditions which in-fluence our de-sign, whether wewant them to ornot, and in theend will give us alocal architecturein spite of our-selves, which isjust what has hap-pened toall local-ities of the worldthat have pro- Japanese Temple at Kyoto. cluccd real art.. The Architect and Eiis:iitcer 39 To do good work a designer must beon the spot. He must learn the languageof the native, and that language refined andbeautified by careful study of the best thatthe past has furnished, in proportion, detailand color, in countries similar to our own, will give us locally an architecture thatfuture generations will come to study aswe go to Rome. External color treatment had been al-most entirely overlooked in this countryuntil just recently. It deserves a great dealof study. The beauty of present Europeanand Asiatic architecture is due to a greatextent to its color harmony. And we maybe sure that the ancients were lavish incolor treatment as the museums prove. But we have studied photographs andline drawings so much that the idea of colorseems to have escaped us. Greece in someof her modern buildings has followed herancient leaders both in design and color.The Library, the Museum, the Academy atAthens, are pure Greek classic and coloredas did the ancients
