This use of style in public buildings to communicate and
persuade testiļ¬es to the power of ideas contained in and
promulgated by design, even in that of furniture. It is the
happy legacy of the movements of the late nineteenth
and early twentieth century that such ideas be embodied
in the proud possessions of the populace at large, but
contemporary architects and designers would do well also
to emulate the lessons of the Baroque, using art not only to
embellish their buildings, but to infuse them with a meaning
easily understood by all. H Lisa Zeiger
