Abstract (in English)

If you ask yourself, why the view on an old architecture is attractive even seen from nearby, you may find the following reasons for it: Each element, being a hadmoulded brick, a squared stone, a hewned timber, etc, differs more or less from its neighbour in surface, in contour, in proportion, in colour or in size. The forced juxtaposition of contrasting materials and forms of our time is more an affair for dogmatically minded people than a way to preserve the old atmosphere. The same may be worth for the third plane: the pavement of streets and squares.
