Architect Quotes

The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity, especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples, no ambitions Picture Quote #1

That is the way a great master carpenter feels, or an architect or composer or anyone who creates anything - people want to be appreciated for what they have done Picture Quote #1

Whether that’s speaking up in your job or asking for a promotion or saying, ‘I think I can do that.’ Using your voice in ways that might initially scare you. That can be being an architect of change Picture Quote #1

I used to be an architect, so I have a series I am working on with USA Network that I created and am co-writing Picture Quote #1

I am an architect. I try to feel the transparency in contemporary buildings and I try to understand the transparency in Zen poetry. I just want to mix all those things Picture Quote #1

I meditate every day for between ten to twenty minutes. Every morning, I work out and go to the gym for an hour. I pray to the architect that designed me. I’m grateful Picture Quote #1

I have had built, from my designs, over 40,000 living units, and that’s more than any other architect that I know of Picture Quote #1

A couturier must be an architect for design, a sculptor for shape, a painter for color, a musician for harmony, and a philosopher for temperance Picture Quote #1

I’d say I never considered myself a great architect. I’m more of a creative problem solver with good taste and a soft spot for logistical nightmares Picture Quote #1

The brevity of human life gives a melancholy to the profession of the architect Picture Quote #1

I think you need to, as an architect, understand the essence of a place and create a building that feels like it resonates with the culture of a place. So my buildings in India or in Kansas City or in Arkansas or in Singapore, they come out different because the places are so different Picture Quote #1

I’m just fascinated by houses. In another life, I’d have probably trained as an architect. If I had enough money, I’d collect them like other people collect teapots. I don’t know why I love them so much. I’m just very interested in the idea of a house as a metaphor for the way one lives Picture Quote #1

I got the idea that to write books would be the best way to spend a life. I never thought of anything else that seemed like half as much fun, although in my next life I would like to be an architect, too, so I can have an easier time restoring houses Picture Quote #1

I think that the point of being an architect is to help raise the experience of everyday living, even a little. Putting a window where people would really like one. Making sure a shaving mirror in a hotel bathroom is at the right angle. Making bureaucratic buildings that are somehow cheerful Picture Quote #1

Certainly if I were to think in terms of a field that would have required a different mode of education, I think I would have leaned in the direction of being a therapist. And without the education, or a different kind of education, I think my first choice would be a landscape architect. I love to garden Picture Quote #1

My trade and my art is living. He who forbids me to speak about it according to my sense, experience, and practice, let him orderthe architect to speak of buildings not according to himself but according to his neighbor; according to another man’s knowledge, not according to his own Picture Quote #1

But amid much elegance and precision, the details of life and the Universe also exhibit haphazard, jury-rigged arrangements and much poor planning. What shall we make of this: an edifice abandoned early in construction by the architect? Picture Quote #1

The first time I had sushi, I hated it. And the second time was no different, and then, I just started loving it. I actually crave for sushi. It’s one of the healthiest meals. My experiments with food began when I was working in New York as an architect, be it Korean or Ethiopian food or fusion food Picture Quote #1

The scary thing is a dramatic erosion of American position in the world - its economic, military position, as well as America’s influence. Obama is not the man at the wheel desperately trying to conserve American power, influence and wealth. For ideological reasons, he wants the slipping to continue. He’s actually the architect of it Picture Quote #1

But if you do, then it’s a high class problem to have. And if you do, you’re the architect of that problem. There’s no one else to blame but yourself. You’ve kept doing the same kinds of movies and that’s what they want to see Picture Quote #1

For one who feels compelled, as I do, to accept the existence of the Master Architect, it is important to examine his handiwork for the light it throws on him and on his program for his children. For me, there has been no serious difficulty in reconciling the principles of true science with the principles of true religion Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of people have the Frank Lloyd Wright model in their brains. The architect comes in with this act of creation and lays it down, and that’s it. But that’s not me Picture Quote #1

I champion the idea of being more conscious. I call it being an active architect of your own life. Building your life like an architect builds a structure Picture Quote #1

There are so many constraints on the architect that public buildings almost never feel free or enjoyable Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing how you meet people through other people. I knew a racecar driver, Stefan Johansson, who was very hot. He introduced me to Jean Todt. He introduced me to a French doctor. He introduced me to a French architect who redid the Louvre with I.M. Pei. He introduced me to Daniel Boulud Picture Quote #1

The day I went to see my father to say I wanted to become an architect, he was a bit surprised, because for him being a builder is much more than being just an architect. He was very angry, and I never thought I could do something else Picture Quote #1

All those involved in the construction of an architectural design, from the architect to the builder, have an attachment to the architecture, although it’s difficult to quantify the attachment Picture Quote #1

Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio Picture Quote #1

The traditional notion of an architect having a vision of a building and then drawing it either on paper or on a computer and then constructing it isn’t really how architecture works, and in reality, the computer has a lot of influence on design Picture Quote #1

My first architectural project I did, I must have been fifteen, was for neighbors across the street, a couple of school teachers, and I designed a house for them. I didn’t know anything about Le Corbusier or anything like that, but it ended up being a very cubistic kind of house. I always wanted to be an architect Picture Quote #1
