Le Corbusier vs Gaudí: should a home be a machine or an organism?

A house is a machine for living in—clear lines, pure geometry, mass-produced dignity for the many.

But there are no straight lines in nature, my friend; even a tree bends toward the light, and so should stone.

Your Sagrada Família has stood unfinished for decades—beauty is fine, but people need roofs now, by the thousand.

Yours will be finished in a decade and forgotten in two; mine grows like a forest, because I build for God, who is never in a hurry.
