The shift in architectural thinking from the highly experimental, unordered design approach of yesteryear to a more modern approach based around the striving for supreme efficiency, simplicity and elegance in designing built form and organisation of space.
For efficiency to be achieved in design, it must be the primary concern. Not only should the form be efficient, but the parts which make up the form, the way in which forms are organised and the spaces created by those forms must all have efficiency first and foremost as the primary concern. For a form to be truly efficient, it must be the fundamental concern at every stage of design.
Modern machines represent the best in efficient design, only expending energy where it is absolutely necessary, and using as little resources while doing it. This is reflected in our daily lives, where we are consumed with striving for efficiency in every conceivable way. (151)
