... the only entirely new and probably the most important aspect of today's language of form is the fact that 'negative' elements (the remainder, intermediate and subtractive quantities) are made active. Placing the same value on 'positive' and 'negative' elements makes it impossible for something to remain 'left over'... We no longer differentiate essentially between those elements which are 'carried' between those 'serving' and those 'served'.
Louis Kahn, Power of Architecture p144
