Text Quotes
In the 60s when I was a student, there was this campaign to destroy 75 percent of the old buildings in Paris, replacing them with modern architecture. I realized this as a dangerous utopia. This modern vision did not understand the richness of the city. Thankfully, such destruction did not happen. (Buildings Quotes)
If you want to understand what’s most important to a society, don’t examine its art or literature, simply look at its biggest buildings. (Buildings Quotes)
Extreme weather threatens our energy and electric grid, federal buildings, transportation infrastructure, access to natural resources, public health, our relationships across the globe, and many other aspects of life. (Buildings Quotes)
Just because you are an architect and make decent buildings does not mean that you can suddenly become a set designer for one of the best avant-garde dancers in the world. (Buildings Quotes)
Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man’s life and work go on after his ‘death,’ whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not. There is no such thing as death according to our view! (Buildings Quotes)
It’s not about doing over the living room of someone who has bad taste in color. This is about restoring historic buildings and instilling pride in a community, which can be done through designing new public spaces and social gathering spots. (Buildings Quotes)
BASE jumping is skydiving from fixed objects, like buildings, antennae, bridges and earth - meaning mountains, cliffs. It’s for sure - for me - it’s the ultimate feeling of being in free fall, with all the visual references. (Buildings Quotes)
It’s a weird city because the uglier the weather, the more beautiful the city. And the uglier the buildings, the more coherent the city. (Buildings Quotes)
I never wanted to make portraits - to photograph celebrities, beautiful people, beautiful landscapes, beautiful buildings, or people in distressing situations.... I have always been interested in everyman - average, ordinary people in everyday situations. (Buildings Quotes)
There are great roads, beautiful bridges, lovely parks, gorgeous gardens and wonderful buildings in a big city. But there is something missing, something very important: The spirit of nature! (Buildings Quotes)
Beautiful buildings are more than scientific. They are true organisms, spiritually conceived; works of art, using the best technology by inspiration rather than the idiosyncrasies of mere taste or any averaging by the committee mind. (Buildings Quotes)
I’d love to go and visit the Mosque in Mecca again, just for the sheer beauty of it, not for God - much the way a non-Catholic might go to Vatican City because of the beauty of the buildings and the artifacts. (Buildings Quotes)
The thing that surprised me the most is just how much money women that weren’t rich were paying for their hair. When you’re in a beauty parlor in Harlem next to abandoned buildings and somebody’s paying five grand for a weave, that’s a bit much. (Buildings Quotes)
Conversion requires a subtler mind. Architects don’t like it, architects want to create their own landmark buildings so that people a few years hence will say, ‘Oh, that building there is being knocked down, who did that one?’ (Buildings Quotes)
I’ve got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks; it’s what children bring into school with them. (Buildings Quotes)
I believe buildings are alive, and when you want to make a change, you have to change in the same symphony. (Buildings Quotes)
Architects design buildings; that’s what we do, so we have to go with the flow; and, even though I’m still an old Leftie, global capitalism does have its good side. It’s broken down barriers - the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union - it’s raised a lot of people up economically, and for architects, it has meant that we can work around the world. (Buildings Quotes)
Face the facts, all these environmental organizations are thirty, forty, fifty years old. They have big buildings, big obligations, big staffs. They may trade on their youthful dreams, but the truth is, they’re now part of the establishment. And the establishment works to preserve the status quo. It just does. (Buildings Quotes)
I know that New York is big, there are huge buildings, but in fact, it’s quite small and contained... (Buildings Quotes)
When I thought about Detroit, I would think big city, very urban - not a lot of places to walk around, not a lot of parks. I sort of pictured Manhattan almost, where, besides Central Park, it’s all city and big buildings. But now that I’m here, you see people pushing strollers, people hanging out in the park. (Buildings Quotes)
New York used to be so much more than just a place to shop. It was life on the street for the eccentrics; it was an eccentric city. It had many different tastes. Now it’s just one - a really rich one - with big tall glass buildings. (Buildings Quotes)
Surely, it’s one of terrorism’s intended effects, to literally stun our morale, to blow up strength and will along with buildings, and the reaction is hard to counter. (Buildings Quotes)
Forget land, buildings, or machines-the real source of wealth today is intelligence, applied intelligence. We talk glibly of intellectual property without taking on board what it really means. It isn’t just patent rights and brand names; it is the brains of the place. (Buildings Quotes)
I spent the majority of time at school trying to break the rules. I would climb to the top of buildings; I even burned a building down once - not intentionally, just because I was interested in fire. I remember going through the rule book, ticking off the ones I had broken and looking for the ones I hadn’t. (Buildings Quotes)
Below us the Thames grew lighter, and all around below were the shadows - the dark shadows of buildings and bridges that formed the base of this dreadful masterpiece. (Buildings Quotes)
Failures are much more dramatic than successes, and people like drama. I think this is why automobile races draw such crowds. People expect spectacular crashes, which we tend to find more interesting than cars just racing around the track. The same is true of bridges, buildings, or any structure or machine. (Buildings Quotes)
I wanted to preserve the old buildings, not to destroy them and build something new (Buildings Quotes)
My first book, ‘To Engineer Is Human,’ was prompted by nonengineer friends asking me why so many technological accidents and failures were occurring. If engineers knew what they were doing, why did bridges and buildings fall down? It was a question that I had often asked myself, and I had no easy answer. (Buildings Quotes)
I don’t want to be romantic, but one of the most important things is to have happy buildings... it’s like having a family with a lot of children. (Buildings Quotes)
True leaders don’t invest in buildings. Jesus never built a building. They invest in people. Why? Because success without a successor is failure. So your legacy should not be in buildings, programs, or projects; your legacy must be in people. (Buildings Quotes)
