8. lappuse - Florence he was building at the time modern architecture. What we do here today is, in the consensus of our four consultants and ourselves, not only the best approach, but the only possible approach to the problem, because modern architecture is not an aim, it is a product of the economics of the age. Gothic architecture, built honestly today, would cost a minimum of twice as much per square foot, per cubic foot or anyway you want to put it, as the so-called contemporary design.
31. lappuse - ... go ahead with all the details of the building; all the details of the building are completed with the exception of some of the exterior items. Mr. SCRIVNER. How much is that building going to cost? Secretary TAI,BOTT. The complex in there is about $25 million total, but the 2 buildings will be a little less. The dining hall we have not finalized; nor have we finalized the buildings at the top, the assembly hall and the executive administrative buildings.
23. lappuse - I will ask them to show me the modifications. I am not talking about further plans.

May I answer that? Secretary TALBOTT. Yes, sir. Mr. OWINGS. We have modified the academic building, 1 of the 2 major buildings on the site.
25. lappuse - I am not expert in the fieldthat the Gothic architecture was the modern architecture of its day. As the result, things were built with that kind of architecture in its day. Therefore, in this day you want to build the American architecture of today ; but I do not know of a public building of any prominence that looks like this. I think, just as a layman — and I am not talking about the business Secretary TALBOTT.
5. lappuse - ... consultants, the Academy staff, and the construction agency are concerned. The buildings on this are starting from the west at the rampart range up here [indicating]. This is tucked against the pictures I showed you originally. The administrative area [indicating] and the religious area [indicating]. Below that point here we have taken advantage of the grades in order to develop the maximum economy of construction and also to 03031—55 2 take advantage of the views and of the relative visibility...
33. lappuse - Mr. SCRIVNER. No, you do not mean $3,000Secretary TALBOTT. No. $3 million. We have the instructors at $14.40 a square foot, 123 of those. So that our total housing project out there is $7,737,000. Mr. SCRIVNER. Well, the presentation this morning is better than the one that was made 2 weeks ago. I probably would be a little more careless with my own money than I...
