« Nous ne sommes plus à l’époque des mécènes, ou de Louis XIV. Le banquier de la pierre ne pense qu’au rapport financier. En vertu de quoi le commanditaire rédige un chèque, non en fonction d’une théorie, mais d’un coût de fabrication. Si les théoriciens lui expliquent qu’on ne construit plus comme autrefois, parce que ça revient trop cher, il jubile, mais si on le persuade qu’on peut continuer à produire du beau à un bas prix de revient, il laissera tomber négligemment : "Faites pour le mieux, du moment que ça n’augmente pas mes coûts." » Alain Paucard, « Les criminels du béton »
