    This document discusses the concept of continuity and unity in architecture. It argues that modern architecture was moving away from seeing buildings as isolated objects, and instead focusing on how volumes, spaces, and surfaces flow together and are interrelated. The author suggests that Frank Lloyd Wright would have embraced the idea of designing buildings as continuous and interconnected wholes, with walls, voids, and structures blending together seamlessly rather than being seen as separate parts. Modern architecture was searching for new forms of expression that captured this principle of continuous unity.
