«Virkelig ingeniørkunst er som en melodi som spilles forsiktig med rene toner. Ingeniører sjonglerer ofte tall istedenfor ideer. For å etablere et nærmere personlig forhold til våre oppdragsgivere arkitektene ville et kunstnerisk temperament vært en stor fordel. Jeg foreslår at noen tiltak i denne retningen inkluderes i ingeniørutdannelsen»
—Fred Severud
