My father was a master carpenter and builder. Architectural design, engineering design, mechanical design, three-dimensional views, that was my shtick, my forte Picture Quote #1

Good buildings make and are made by their settings, and they are appropriately different in different locations. Climate, culture, topography and materials have helped create regional architectural languages that seem curiously right for their locations and for all times Picture Quote #1

I think when you look at architectural photography it doesn’t help to have piles of old clothes lying on the floor. Architectural photography sets up an artifice Picture Quote #1

As regards my own ‘philosophy,’ I continue to be inspired by the music, liturgy and architectural tradition of the Anglican Church in which I was brought up. No one can fail to be uplifted by great cathedrals - such as that at Ely, near my home in Cambridge Picture Quote #1

I think space, architectural space, is my thing. It’s not about facade, elevation, making image, making money. My passion is creating space Picture Quote #1

The task of the architectural project is to reveal, through the transformation of form, the essence of the surrounding context Picture Quote #1

I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It’s always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality Picture Quote #1

The time is probably near when a new system of architectural laws will be developed, adapted entirely to metallic construction Picture Quote #1

Architectural and product designs have a narrative capacity - you can start to tell a story about them and imagine a lot of things Picture Quote #1

It was always my intention that The Frieze should be housed in a room which would provide a suitable architectural frame for it Picture Quote #1

It is in dialogue with pain that many beautiful things acquire their value. Acquaintance with grief turns out to be one of the more unusual prerequisites of architectural appreciation. We might, quite aside from all other requirements, need to be a little sad before buildings can properly touch us Picture Quote #1

True, there are architects so called in this country, and I have heard of one at least possessed with the idea of making architectural ornaments have a core of truth, a necessity, and hence a beauty, as if it were a revelation to him. All very well perhaps from his point of view, but only a little better than the common dilettantism Picture Quote #1

Work on a good piece of writing proceeds on three levels: a musical one, where it is composed; an architectural one, where it is constructed; and finally, a textile one, where it is woven Picture Quote #1

If there is a reason for keeping the wall very quiet, choose a pattern that works all over without pronounced lines...Put very succinctly, architectural effect depends upon a nice balance of horizontal, vertical and oblique. No rules can say how much of each; so nothing can really take the place of feeling and good judgement Picture Quote #1

If you get hold of a head of hair on somebody you’ve never seen before, cut beautiful shapes, cut beautiful architectural angles and she walks out looking so different - I think that’s masterful Picture Quote #1

The size thing is not some gimmick or attention-getting trick but a genuine undercurrent of the work. Frank Gehry for instance likes to imagine his buildings as sculptures. I like to imagine my sculptures as architectural Picture Quote #1
