Affect Building-Barney "What we can do now is not very evident; what we can do after the war, therefore, is .much easier to talk about," was the keynote of the address by William Pope Bar ney, visiting design critic and con sultant, before an estimated crowd of 100 persons in 121 Sparks Build ing last night. . Speaking on "The Architect's New Cilents in the Post-war Era," in the third Liberal Arts series, Mr. Barney, who is at present working for the government on defense housing; stated that it will be the young people of today who will be the future clients of the architect. "This war will be the greatest job in cooperation that we have ever been a party to," Barney de clared, "and the cooperative effort will extend into the peace which will inevitably follow. There will be many significant changes after it is over, and nowhere will this change be shown better than in architecture." Stating that simplicity will typ ify post-war architecture because of the great leveling effect war has, Barney went on to say that build ing will grow , by,reason of what it will house, rather than construc tion for beauty. Designs will stress the functional and utilitarian mo tive instead of the esthetic. "The vast expenditures of ma terial and money will lead to greater economy of construction in the future," Barney. said. "Pre fabrication and mechanization will then come into their own, and there will be less waste in labor," lie added. Concluding that the architect's skill is primarily for•the• service,of , _ hurnanity)and-4$ needs, Barney re affirmed a . hope that the 'future will see us returning _to the appre ciation of beauty that the primi tives have, with the stripping away of all that is ephemeral and taw-. dry.
