He would be the chief faculty member, teaching male and female pupils his basic architectural law: that the architect must integrate his building with its surroundings (function, terrain, climate), make plain its structural elements and if possible develop them as ornamentation. He would teach them the feel of materials by having them blast stone, hew timber, dig soil, work in a machine-shop. They would study, sweat, play and brood in unison. They would be called, not ''students'' as in other colleges...
