Domes:

"You say people with rising social aspirations prefer the square architecture of conventional houses. Certainly the people who lived through the depression wanted to do just that, but now I think the young people don't feel that way at all.

"And remember that throughout history we didn't use domes for houses because we couldn't afford them--we saved them for our temples, churches, and state capitols."
