"One of the outstanding achievements of the new constructional technique has been the abolition of the separating function of the wall. Instead of making the walls the element of support, as in a brick-built house, our new space-saving construction transfers the whole load of the structure to a steel or concrete framework. Thus the role of the walls becomes restricted to that of mere screens stretched between the upright columns of this framework to keep out rain, cold, and noise. . Systematic technical improvement in steel and concrete …. are steadily reducing the area occupied by supporting members. This, in turn …. allows rooms to be much better lit. It is, therefore, only logical that the old type of window—a hole that had to be hollowed out of the full thickness of a supporting wall— should be giving place more and more to the continuous horizontal casement …. . And as a direct result of the growing preponderance of voids over solids, glass is assuming an ever greater structural importance. . In the same way the flat roof is superseding the old penthouse roof with its tiled or slated gables. ”
