Keister, George. “Fads in Architecture.” Vol. I, #1 [July-September, 1891], pp. 49-61.
“The true Architect is no copyist, no stiff-thumbed duplicator of other’s details and ideas, but he who carefully studies the needs of the case before him, and plans, constructs and designs from a conviction that arises not so much from genius as from study and intelligent training, a kind of architectural conscience that abhors as a deformity, superfluous, misapplied or misplaced materials and inartistic lines and colors.” BUT: “To sum up, then, the architectural fads of the day are of two classes. One that comes from the indiscriminate copying of successful men’s work and reproducing details culled from striking and ornate buildings; the other from the false idea that unique and fanciful combinations constitute design.”
