Ise Gropius, wife of Walter Gropius, thought this translation of a 1919 article by Walter Gropius would be of interest to Robin Boyd because it touches on Gropius's preoccupation with 'beauty'. A letter by Ise Gropius accompanies this article (item D431.1).The article is corrected in pencil on page 2, in Robin Boyd's hand.

Robin Boyd was asked to write this article, after Jorn Utzon resigned for the Sydney Opera House commission. Description of the tension between Utzon requiring more freedom to develop his ideas, and the pressure applied by Davis Hughes, State Minister of Public Works of NSW Government. Boyd describes the controversy, the outblowing of costs. Robin Boyd’s desk cupboard contained two exercise books (item D482.1-D482.2) and assorted articles, essays and other material regarding the building of the Sydney Opera House, inserted inside the front cover of Walkabout magazine, July 1966 (item P1377). This publication is one of those inserts. Many of these were collected by Boyd’s eldest daughter, Mandie, who recalls that her father was writing a book, but was very disillusioned with the way the entire Opera House saga unfolded.
