In 1970 architecture was abstract; Content with the presentation of the facts of its own making; the process of building predominant over the symbol intended. Society was in turmoil; young architects calling for an architecture as open and complex as the culture itself. Today, architecture is onwce again not only the matter of syntax but one of symbol – of the representation of ideas not inherent to the building process but fundamental to the building art. The diversity of our expressive modern results in a beautiful cacophony.
— Robert A. M. Stern, Notes on American architecture in the waning of the Petroleum Era. In: GA Document 1970–1980 Special Issue 1, p. 11.
