Text Quotes
The way of architecture is the quiet voice that underlies it and has guided it from the beginning  (Architecture Quotes) There was an age, however, when the transition from savagery to civilization, with all its impressive outward manifestations in art and architecture, took place for the first time  (Architecture Quotes) Today’s developer is a poor substitute for the committed entrepreneur of the last century for whom the work of architecture represented a chance to celebrate the worth of his enterprise  (Architecture Quotes) We are stymied by regulations, limited choice and the threat of litigation. Neither consultants nor industry itself provide research which takes architecture forward  (Architecture Quotes) When I write now I do not invent situation, characters, or actions, but rather structures and discursive forms, textual groupings which are combined according to secret affinities among themselves, as in architecture or the plastic arts  (Architecture Quotes) You might say that when you step inside, you’re entering a honorific space, but that’s something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us  (Architecture Quotes) Here, then, is what I wanted to tell you of my architecture. I created it with courage and idealism, but also with an awareness of the fact that what is important is life, friends, and attempting to make this unjust world a better place in which to live  (Architecture Quotes) I had some good opportunities. I was lucky to have had the chance to do things differently. Architecture is about surprise  (Architecture Quotes) Architecture was my way of expressing my ideals: to be simple, to create a world equal to everyone, to look at people with optimism, that everyone has a gift. I don’t want anything but general happiness. Why is that bad?  (Architecture Quotes) The exchange between different cultures can not possibly be seen as a threat, when it is friendly. But I believe that the dissatisfaction with the overall architecture often depends on the quality of leadership  (Architecture Quotes) It is a question of building which is at the root of the social unrest of today: architecture or revolution  (Architecture Quotes) Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as salon art. Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith  (Architecture Quotes) Architecture is like a mythical fantastic. It has to be experienced. It can’t be described. We can draw it up and we can make models of it, but it can only be experienced as a complete whole  (Architecture Quotes) I don’t think of form as a kind of architecture. The architecture is the result of the forming. It is the kinesthetic and visual sense of position and wholeness that puts the thing into the realm of art  (Architecture Quotes) Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture  (Architecture Quotes) Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person  (Architecture Quotes) Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time  (Architecture Quotes) I think about architecture all the time. That’s the problem. But I’ve always been like that. I dream it sometimes  (Architecture Quotes) Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people’s lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society  (Architecture Quotes) London is one of the most civilised places in the world for the procedure of making architecture and urban design  (Architecture Quotes) If I was influenced by anything, it was architecture: structure having to do with logic. If you don’t do it right, the whole thing is going to cave in. In a certain sense, you can carry that to graphic design. Fortunately, however, nobody is going to die if you do it wrong  (Architecture Quotes) All architecture, classical or not, must have some sense of order, and order is much harder to achieve without the straight lines and right angles that have dominated the building art from time immemorial  (Architecture Quotes) Before the professionalization of architecture in the nineteenth century, it was standard for an aspiring mason or carpenter to begin his apprenticeship at fourteen and to become a master builder by his early twenties  (Architecture Quotes) One of the stated goals of the postmodern movement in architecture was a greater sensitivity to the people who live in or use newly designed buildings  (Architecture Quotes) Islam appears to me like a perfect work of architecture. All its parts are harmoniously conceived to complement and support each other; nothing is superfluous and nothing lacking; and the result is a structure of absolute balance and solid composure  (Architecture Quotes) Dancing is surely the most basic and relevant of all forms of expression. Nothing else can so effectively give outward form to an inner experience. Poetry and music exist in time. Painting and architecture are a part of space. But only the dance lives at once in both space and time. In it the creator and the thing created, the artist and the expression, are one. Each participates completely in the other. There could be no better metaphor for an understanding of the mechanics of the cosmos  (Architecture Quotes) The architecture of my sister’s thinking, now phantom. I fall down stairs that are nothing but air  (Architecture Quotes) When I’m with him, there is someone with me in my house of grief, someone who knows its architecture as I do, who can walk with me, from room to sorrowful room, making the whole rambling structure of wind and emptiness not quite as scary, as lonely as it was before  (Architecture Quotes) Stories are compasses and architecture, we navigate by them, we build our sanctuaries and our prisons out of them, and to be without a story is to be lost in the vastness of a world that spreads in all directions like arctic tundra or sea ice  (Architecture Quotes) The dance is the mother of the arts. Music and poetry exist in time; painting and architecture in space. But the dance lives at once in time and space  (Architecture Quotes)
