现代主义来到美国之前,已走过一段很长的路程。我是1935年到美国的,那时,诞生于欧洲的现代运动已活跃了20年了。只是到了这个时候,美国才开始意识到转变的必要。这种转变始于1937年。当年,勒·柯布西埃访问了MIT,作了一次讲演。我记得,他逗留了两天。这两天对我的整个职业生涯来说是两个最重要的日子。他显得粗野,傲慢,口出狂言,但他是正确的。我们受到震动,不再怡然自得。
Before Modernism came to the United States, it had come a long way. I came to the United States in 1935. At that time, the modern movement born in Europe had been active for 20 years. It was only at this time that the United States began to realize the need for change. This transformation began in 1937. That year, Le Corbusier visited MIT and gave a lecture. I remember that he stayed for two days. These two days are the two most important days for my entire career. He looks rough, arrogant, and utters rumors, but he is correct. We are shaken and no longer feel comfortable.
