Here are the diaries of L'Obscurier— the hugely influential artist, architect, sculptor, painter and social engineer who revolutionised the way we think about the built environment and then drowned in the Mediterranean

摘要

The epoch now upon us has created an upper stratum of human intelligence - thinkers, designers, planners, artists, engineering magnates, experimenters in social realism (exempli gratia Britain's so-called 'kitchen sink architects'), Modern sexualists, writers-of-the-moment & cetera & cetera. I hesitate to call us ubermenschen. Of the 500 or so truly influential figures in the world to-day, two are certainly women; also, the term iibermenschen still provokes a negative connotation in certain salons. Very well then, we are pedagogues. We broadcast our seeds of cultural revolution in the ill-furrowed fields of human endeavour.
