One of my dreams, Mother, is to have, someday, a little joy of a bungalow, on the edge of the woods and mountains near a crowded city, which shall be open just as some people’s hearts are open, to friends of all types.

— Pauline Schindler to her Mother in a letter, 1916

We want to build to have live contact with our neighbors…So that is what architecture does. It takes the spirit of the times of the people, puts it into buildings, adds something to it, and brings the spirit out in a much bigger and broader sense.

— RM Schindler, “Talk on Architecture” 1938
