• The importance of strong basic design (principles of composition, 2D and 3D design, color theory and craftsmanship as fundamental to “good” art and architecture
• The unity of art, architecture, and design: “architecture, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew the composite character of a building as an entity (wanted to eliminate the boundaries that separated “art” from “architecture” and “craft”)
• Emphasis on thorough knowledge of machine age technologies (artist-architect-craftsperson needed to understand industry and mass production).
