<p>This text has its origin in a declaration of principles for the journal <em>Art et Habitat</em>, which Constant and Stephen Gilbert intended to devote to the ‘synthesis of the arts’ (1953). The journal was never published, however, and Constant revised and developed the text in 1955</p>

<p>This text appeared in <em>Forum </em>in 1955 and is part of a widespread debate during the 1950s. In this debate about collaboration among architects and visual artists, Constant stakes his position by calling for a radical amalgamation of architecture and other plastic arts. Erasing the boundaries between the various disciplines must lead to an ‘absolute unity of construction, function, form and colour’.
