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 (Buildings Quotes)
While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry (Buildings Quotes)
I just love building buildings. I’m the largest developer in New York City. I’m having a lot of fun doing it. I think I’ve never had more fun. I’m just enjoying my life (Buildings Quotes)
I did not find Liverpool ugly. Her stately public buildings, broad streets, public squares, and noble statues redeem her from the charge (Buildings Quotes)
You get to shoot things, and things blow up, and you’re jumping off of buildings. It’s insane! And hot girls. And you get to dress cool. And you’re in a movie with Tom Cruise, come on! So it’s a dream come true. Truly (Buildings Quotes)
I grew up in a big sky country. Then I lived in Manhattan, where you can only see the sky between buildings, and then I went into a building where you couldn’t see the sky at all. I didn’t like that so much (Buildings Quotes)
I found that through my life, living in the city of Toronto, I look above the Pizza Pizza sign, and I look above the other signs and window dressing, and I see evidence of a city that no longer exists in the keystones and the decorations that line the tops of buildings. That presence of the old city has always moved me (Buildings Quotes)
Whenever I write lyrics, in the back of my mind I always see a guy driving to work, driving to a really bad job, one of those horrible institutions, or one of those low squat buildings in Los Angeles. I write with that person in my mind (Buildings Quotes)
Many of the projects I’m most proud of are tall buildings, especially the housing projects. In New York I have two: one in Kips Bay and one at New York University. At that time, those projects were most challenging (Buildings Quotes)
I have no fear of death, so I don’t think about it. I love the adrenalin kick that danger brings. Others get their kicks bungee jumping from tall buildings. I’m very, very competitive. I want to be the best at everything I do. It’s not driving - it’s everything - it might be playing my guitar, I try to be the best at it as I possibly can (Buildings Quotes)
The key reason why we are richer than our ancestors is that these ancestors have bequeathed us buildings, factories and machines that have given us a high living standard to start with. Driven by irresponsible policy makers, America’s present generation is consuming the nation’s capital (Buildings Quotes)
I had visited New York at age 12, and I loved the big buildings and the swarms of people. At 23, I decided to try it. I was going to go for six months, and I ended up living there for 18 years before I moved to California, so I am living the American Dream (Buildings Quotes)
I just thought everybody lived around abandoned buildings and crack-heads, ... I lived in the ghetto until I was like 19. I came to Los Angeles, stayed at hotels and stuff. When I got back and I saw what my neighborhood looked like, I started getting scared (Buildings Quotes)
I say we must have a movement that brings those troops home and launch a crusade to transform our school buildings, we launch a crusade to see to it that every citizen has adequate and affordable housing, we launch a crusade to make universal health care. We need not soldiers anymore in the world. We’ve had enough of them in western history. (Buildings Quotes)
The sort of lifetime achievement stuff that I’m getting now is kind of like Tom Sawyer’s funeral because they all know I’m sick. I am getting buildings named after me and awards and stuff. (Buildings Quotes)
Better use of space, improving the insulation, getting more daylight into the buildings, reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning and heating systems, making sure that the internal air quality is good, that we have increased natural ventilation opportunities in the mid seasons. You know these are some of the things we can do to become environmentally friendly. (Buildings Quotes)
I’m very interested in buildings that adapt to changes in climatic conditions according to the seasons, buildings capable of responding to our physical and psychological needs in the way that clothing does. We don’t turn on the air-conditioning as we walk through the streets in high summer. Instead, we change the character of the clothing by which we are protected. Layering and changeability: this is the key... (Buildings Quotes)
The skyline in Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Rope’ is made up: no, you don’t get the Waldorf and the Chrysler and the Empire State buildings and a dozen other magnificent structures in one window. (Buildings Quotes)
There are so many constraints on the architect that public buildings almost never feel free or enjoyable. (Buildings Quotes)
Some ruins of ancient times are much more beautiful than the best buildings of modern eras! (Buildings Quotes)
The rich and powerful always seem to prefer the tops of buildings. Hasn’t anyone ever explained to them that higher just means you have farther to fall? -- Anita Blake (Buildings Quotes)
The first thing many tourists see in Hawaii is concrete - a long dreary stretch of it through landscapes dominated by sad, cheap apartment buildings and almost entirely denuded of plant life. (Buildings Quotes)
The artistic part of us all - I think that the easiest way to appreciate this - is through architecture. Architecture is very impressive; the beauty of buildings, temples. (Buildings Quotes)
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. (Buildings Quotes)
The slightest nudge can send a fruit pyramid collapsing into ruin. Perhaps this is why there is so little ancient architecture and art left in the world. Perhaps ancient fat people bumped into buildings and statues and made them fall. Perhaps this is the real reason Rome fell (Buildings Quotes)
Architecture is a negotiated art, and it’s highly political, and if you want to make buildings, there is diplomacy required. (Buildings Quotes)
In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives. (Buildings Quotes)
I remember coming back to the U.K. after spending five months in Charlotte for ‘Homeland,’ and I just found myself just wandering around London. There’s nothing like it - the buildings, the architecture, the sense of history, the sense of culture - there really is nothing like it. (Buildings Quotes)
Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperor’s love wrought in living stones. (Buildings Quotes)
When I was young, I wanted to be a movie star. But I realized that you have no control being an actor. So I went to architecture school in NYC, because I was crazy about buildings. Then I began to realize that I got more excited about Vogue coming out each month than I was about my projects. (Buildings Quotes)
