Modernist architecture necessarily fixed space within a dynamic historical process

Evidence

To begin with, it could never escape the problem of its own aesthetic as a spatialization of sorts. However flexible Otto Wagner’s or Le Corbusier’s plans were in their capacity to absorb future developments and expansions, they necessarily fixed space in the midst of a historical process that was highly dynamic. — David Harvey, The Condition of Postmodernity, 1779
