...Conscience of the Eye is not a sentimentalist tract. It issues no call for a neoclassical revival, for an America dotted with cinderblock Romes and girdered Spartas like some overgrown theme park.

It proposes to break down walls and open up spaces to reveal vistas too long blocked off from view. And even if this book causes no cities to be razed or rebuilt, it will surely broaden avenues in its readers' minds
