Bennett, T. P. The relation of sculpture to architecture. University Press, 1916.

"In all the greatest periods of their history, architecture and sculpture have gone hand in hand.. It is necessary that the sculpture should...be in sympathy with its surroundings."-Introduction.

In other words, decorative sculpture should not be "stuck onto" buildings like frosting on cake, but must form an integral part of the whole design. This fundamental necessity for complete harmony between structure and decoration is emphasized in the present volume by examples taken from various cities in Europe.
