  • Japanese architecture is very much copied in this country and in Europe.

  • If you examine this, I think that you will find that it's the mechanics of Japanese architecture that have been thought of as the direct influence upon our architecture.

  • The Wayne Education Building was the first classroom building that we have done on the Wayne campus.
