the past centuries? We can't an
swer that . . .
"When I was in the East last
year, the architects were much in
terested in the Pacific Coast, par
ticularly the Northwest. They
were impressed with our work out
here. They wanted to know, how
do you sell the client? We try new
things and fail."
His preliminary sketch of the
courthouse in Salem was printed
in the Capitol Journal and raised
quite a stir of protest, the archi
tect said, and quoted one com
ment in particular: "Of course, as
a follower of the modernistic new
deal in architecture, Belluschi can
ignore such things as beauty. . ."
Someone else called the design a
"packing box." )
Undecided Congregation
"Now, about the new church in
Cottage Grove. ... I'm surprised.
Nobody seems to like it, but on
the other hand, nobody seems to
dislike it." (Belluschi also de
signed the plans for the proposed
new Central Lutheran Church in
Eugene.)
"And so you see," the architect
admitted, "I told them in the East
that I had no trouble, but I do
have trouble."
"The architect has to believe in
what he's doing, he must work
without tricks, he must consider
planning and function," Belluschi
declared. "It's true that architects
sometimes get so wound up in
what they're doing that they go
too far . . . and people know what
they like and what they don't like
so although he architect has to
be ahead, he can't go too far
far ahead. He needs intelligence
and honesty." .
Revolution In Thought
There has been a revolution in
the thinking of architects which
corresponds with the social revo
lution which changed society from
an aristrocratic age to the "age
of the common man," the architect
explained.
"Democracy hasn't achieved its
form yet, as it slowly converts
from a dead society which ex
pressed itself in its architectural
works castles, cathedrals and
palaces," he declared.
"These things just are not in our
way of life because this is the age
ot the common man, not the
nobleman ... so we must go
through period in which we
strive to find forms that are sig
nificant in terms of our age, we
cannot borrow from the past.
Form Undiscovered
"This is difficult to do. The
architect feels rebellious and ati
the same time he feels defeated,
Rebellion is a negative feeling, and
we are itw in that pnase conse
quently the form has not been
found," Belluschi stated.
"We are on our own. We have
no precedent, and we don't want
a precedent which puts us in a
difficult position. For example, in
designing churches we cannot
turn to the Gothic because that is
a dead form. We don't want to
copy, so where can we take the
design It must come from . our
minds," he continued.
The Northwest faces a heavy
growth In population and a fresh
culture, the architect declared. The
area has no great tradition, neither
does the East but the East did
have traditions, they had evolved
some styles, for example Colonial,
which are hard to compete against.
Scene Uninspiring
"The general scene as we at
tempt to plan for the common
man and to plan for our cities is
not very inspiring . . . that's no
one's fault in particular, it's the
fault of conditions as they grew,"
Belluschi said.
In summarization of the func
tion of building design, and art in
America, the Portlander declared:
"There is a great need for fulfill
ment of emotional thirst, which
might be called beauty although
that is one of those words which
can be confused. We cannot give
the people Just 'function."
Emotion Needed
"It ig important that we create
again 'emotional building', inose
who are still 50 years ago in their
tastes, are not wrong, but we do
need other spacial relations; color,
painting, sculpture, murals, to
satisfy this thirst for beauty and
make no mistake, we all have it."
"We look back to the great ages
