It assures the physical and spiritual independence of the individual" Article 7. "The capsule is the ultimate form of a prefabricated building - and industrialized building... capsules will be mass-produced on a selective system which combines parts, not a standardized mass-production system. The time will come when mass production will not produce standardization but will ensure variety." Article 8. "The capsule mentality is opposed to uniformity and systematic thinking... A building is dissolved into parts and is capsulized as functional units. A building will be defined in the future as the state of spatial-temporal docking of more than one capsule" "Now, however, architecture is no longer a device to control men: it is a means whereby men control technology and machinery... Architecture is, in itself, a device to produce functions but is only one element in the composition of an area. An encounter between acts of man and architecture takes place at a level which transcends architecture".
