Architecture Quotes

I would fix other people’s lines if they asked me on occasion. The hard part of writing is the architecture of it, getting the story and structuring it. Not the tweaking of lines Picture Quote #1

About 1998, when ‘Wide World of Sports’ and the ‘Footy Show’ came to an end for me, I couldn’t type. When I started architecture, it was a very aesthetic, creative, an almost art process, where lettering and thick line were how you expressed yourself on the paper Picture Quote #1

I was a child of a single mother/art teacher, and a father who was an architect, so I’ve always been around the combination of art, fine art, and architecture my entire life Picture Quote #1

I think all good architecture should challenge you, make you start asking questions. You don’t have to understand it. You may not like it. That’s OK Picture Quote #1

Architecture is a result of a process of asking questions and testing them and re-interrogating and changing in a repetitive way Picture Quote #1

Our subliminal mental processes operate outside awareness because they arise in these portions of our mind that are inaccessible to our conscious self; their inaccessibility is due to the architecture of the brain rather than because they have been subject to Freudian motivational forces like repression Picture Quote #1

Architecture is a very dangerous job. If a writer makes a bad book, eh, people don’t read it. But if you make bad architecture, you impose ugliness on a place for a hundred years Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite vacation places is Miami, because of the people, the water and the beach - of course - and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful Picture Quote #1

I didn’t realize Toronto was so beautiful. Everywhere you go you see beautiful architecture Picture Quote #1

Don’t go where it is all fine music and grand talk and beautiful architecture; those things will neither fill anybody’s stomach, nor feed his soul. Go where the gospel is preached, the gospel that really feeds your soul, and go often Picture Quote #1

Architecture is not an inspirational business, it’s a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that’s all Picture Quote #1

Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture. Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world Picture Quote #1

I’m not a religious person. But, when I look at a beautiful cathedral, what brings awe, what induces awe is the idea that architecture, you know, a beautiful cathedral, a beautiful building Picture Quote #1

What’s fascinating about D.C., the exteriors are these elaborate structures, this gorgeous architecture and beautiful stonework, and then you go inside and it’s crap-looking - apart from the White House, which is beautiful Picture Quote #1

A lot of my ideas come from McNally Jackson bookstore. One of my favorite things to do is just go there and look through architecture books and interior design books. Something about the aesthetics of space and beautiful images works with my brain Picture Quote #1

We need to rediscover the essence of the meaning of ‘the use.’ Architecture is, above all, here for a better living. Every gesture, every shape must be justified by various reasons that would reinforce their reason to be, their use, and will give more sense to their beauty Picture Quote #1

True features make the beauty of a face, and true proportions the beauty of architecture Picture Quote #1

But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that to change the environment is to change behaviour Picture Quote #1

Oratory is the masterful art. Poetry, painting, music, sculpture, architecture please, thrill, inspire - but oratory rules. The orator dominates those who hear him, convinces their reason, controls their judgment, compels their action. For the time being, he is master Picture Quote #1

I believe [the architecture firm] Herzog and de Meuron and our collaboration made the product the best it could be Picture Quote #1

Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It’s about making the world a better place, and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it Picture Quote #1

I think architecture is rarely the product of a single ideology. It’s more like it can be shaped by a really big idea. It can accommodate a lot of life forms Picture Quote #1

So I was drawing in a lot of the habit district in Brazil, put that together with an Asian influence, so there are a lot of different things in terms of architecture which assisted in the construction. Then every sci-fi movie I’ve grown up with from ‘Blade Runner’ to ‘Aliens’ and ‘Star Wars.’ Picture Quote #1

Architecture is particularly difficult for women; there’s no reason for it to be. I don’t want to blame men or society, but I think it was for a long time, the clients were men, the building industry is all male Picture Quote #1

The body moves through space every day, and in architecture in cities that can be orchestrated. Not in a dictatorial fashion, but in a way of creating options, open-ended sort of personal itineraries within a building. And I see that as akin to cinematography or choreography, where episodic movement, episodic moments, occur in dance and film Picture Quote #1

My weakness ... is architecture. I think of my work as ephemeral architecture, dedicated to the beauty of the female body Picture Quote #1
