The Doric order appeared to have been the ultimate historical form, the great human building achievement, unfettered by sculptural contingency or the base need for shelter. All of them – Gaudi, Sullivan and Loos, and Asplund – saw the Doric order as ultimate, though perhaps only for Loos did that imply the last ever, the last possible.”
