In certain cases sculpture becomes architecture and this fascinated Giedion.
"What happens here [in Ronchamps] is what Naum Gabo and others have proclaimed: the principles of modern art have passed over into architecture and have coalesced with it."

"That architecture is approaching sculpture and sculpture is approaching architecture is no deviation from the development of contemporary architecture."

S. Giedion Space, Time and Architecture

In the beginning of the century many disciplines tried merging with each other in order to create the new.
"My works of this time, up to 1924, are all in the search for an image which would fuse the sculptural element with the architectural element into one unit. I consider this Column the culmination of that search."
