PP.38-41まででの用法について*1。
3.1 例題 There can be no denying that examples of an architecture entirely different from what our fathers were accustomed to have appeared on the scene during the last twenty years. The designers of modern architecture believe that in developing and perfecting it so as to answer this century's problems and to be in tune with its outlook, they are helping at the revival of architecture as a live art. For it is a mistake to suppose that, because modern architects are particularly concerned to relate buildings more closely to the needs they have to serve, they are only interested in the practical side of architecture. They know that they are practicing an art and therefore are concerned with the pursuit of beauty.
