Discussing the variation of theory and reason in Architecture sometimes needs to take backseat to the Architecture itself. I saw a nasty confrontation on Facebook yesterday between Modernists and Contextualists. (Arghhhhhh -- "The Idiots") And so today, there is no theory. Only pictures. Details in stone -- that once generated angry discussion, a not-so-subtle play of politics, un-ending argument, alcoholism, loss, vicious victory (really vicious), and envy -- will today present themselves as simple shape and light, softened with the patina of the century.
Mies said "God is in the Details." Surely he is mistaken. Surely, it is the Devil.
