"I [...] recently saw what is being achieved by the Vienna Municipal Council, which has a strong socialist majority. What this radical German socialist saw materializing wiped away the depression enveloping him in one fell swoop. It is clear why the Communist Party is so unimportant in Austria. Radicals stick to the socialist party [SDAP]. Culturally, only Russia is in the process of achieving anything close to what is happening in Vienna."[2]

"For [Vladimir] Mayakovsky the locomotive, like buildings for the architects, did not have a merely utilitarian, functional role, and if technical progress did not generate enthusiasm, if buildings did not contribute to the transformation of man, then the job had been only half done. "We will build our own world, a new world," sang the October revolutionaries. It was in terms of this world and the current conception of it that the architects envisaged their "communal houses," clubs, and cities. But what, precisely, was the nature of this new world to be?"[3]

"Once again, Vienna is talking a great deal of nonsense. Skyscraper euphoria has broken out. Architects and business people, married couples and brides and grooms who finally want to have children — everyone is shouting for skyscrapers, skyscrapers that will fulfill all their dreams, put an end to housing shortages, and give people who live up there on the fortieth floor a splendid view. In my opinion, skyscrapers belong in Vienna just about as much as a pair of Goiserer mountain boots belong in one’s face. [....] No, I am firmly convinced that we will soon get a couple of lovely new coffee houses, but never a skyscraper. And we do not need one at all. You can scratch your head on the fourth floor, you do not have to climb into the clouds. And we will be scratching our heads in puzzlement for a long time to come!"[4]
