‘laisser le chemin libre pour l’interpénétration des races […] partout où les besoins de la vie exigent que les individus se mêlent.’

May that segment of the population which inhabits the town kampongs still live in muffled resignation, unconsciously convinced that it cannot be any other way, one should not forget what a rewarding field it is to work with such a population for those who set themselves the goal of overthrowing the authority which allows such situations to continue without intervening. It is no coincidence, Mister Chairman, that a number of leaders are not at all enthusiastic about the kampong improvements. As long as political power is not obtained they prefer to allow the poor situation to continue; there is no better thinkable means of propaganda. Up until now the kampong population has remained quiet but the source of unrest, the perpetual threat to peace and order remains in the so badly neglected kampongs.’

‘…architecture as a cultural institution is a continuing process… In that context we could see the architectrual contribution from the Nederlandsch Oost Indie period be part of the Indonesian culture, and therefore by conserving selected monuments form the period it should be regarded as a kind of historical completeness and cultural survival….’
‘…last July…I contemplated about the architecture of the Dutch period in Indonesia and its recognition as part of the Indonesian Architectural entity…
‘…efforts (must) be made before the general public, the profesisonals, and the decision makers (to) perceive the Architecture of the Dutch period in its right perspective’.
