Martienssen, Rex D
'Architects' houses tend to be interesting not because they inevitably exceed either on practical or aesthetic grounds the work done in the normal way, but because they are in a sense snatches of autobiography.'...'in the architect's own house the only conflicting circumstances that have to be contended with are economic or material - there are no external problems of taste'...'In this freedom lies the possibility of greatness or weakness.' p19

"The architect's training in large scale planning, in the co-ordination of the many and varied technical activities connected with building and in the adjustment of related and sometimes conflicting programme requirements, gives him a special place in the formulation and carrying out of comprehensive measures for Air Raid Protection."

Martienssen, Rex D
" The architectural monuments of England are to be found in the country. In the vernacular where architectural forms combine with an unaccountable poise and harmony; where brick and tile and thatch and stone are used with judgement and leisurely arrangements we find the spirit which has escaped  the architect's most determined efforts to establish an english architecture."

Martienssen, Rex D
Art Implies human intervention; the impact of a creating will on inanimate material, but in the functioning of this humanizing agency the outcome is coloured by economy. To evoke a response it is not necessary to re-create the whole idea or form conceived in the mind it is sufficient to evoke a reaction in temrs of a symbol.

Martienssen, Rex D
When we build, we establish a relationship more or less satisfactory between the volume of the building and the greater volume which encloses it. The enveloping elements of the building-form provide the transition, and it is in this actual transition that the degree of strength and the kind of relationship is established.
