Buildings Quotes

You can’t have the finest buildings if they’re not in focus. They become like nice cars parked on the street Picture Quote #1

My buildings are not particularly expensive. It is not a tin shed. If you want a tinny car, you pay for that Picture Quote #1

If you look at landscape in historical terms, you realize that most of the time we have been on Earth as a species, what has fallen on our retina is landscape, not images of buildings and cars and street lights Picture Quote #1

From a sequence of these individual patterns, whole buildings with the character of nature will form themselves within your thoughts, as easily as sentences Picture Quote #1

Here in Barcelona, it’s the architects who built the buildings that made the city iconic who are the objects of admiration - not a bunch of half-witted monarchs Picture Quote #1

I am all for greening tall buildings, but I’m also very keen to note that greening a building doesn’t cope with the problem of the tall building in the texture of the city Picture Quote #1

Cities are about juxtaposition. In Florence, classical buildings sit against medieval buildings. It’s that contrast we like. In Bordeaux, we built law courts right next door to what is effectively a listed historic building, and that makes it exciting Picture Quote #1

Once I tried to make a standardization of staircases. Probably that is one of the oldest of the standardizations. Of course, we design new staircase steps every day in connection with all our houses, but a standardized step depends on the height of the buildings and on all kinds of things Picture Quote #1

I don’t think all buildings have to be iconic, but the history of the world has shown us that cultures build iconic buildings for their major public buildings Picture Quote #1

Twenty-first century buildings support a 21st century education - because it is difficult to learn or to teach if you are shivering Picture Quote #1

When I first came to New York City, what I was thrilled about was not the Empire State Building, or the Statue of Liberty; it was the fireplugs in the street. These things that Jack Kirby had drawn. Or these cylindrical water towers on top of buildings that Steve Ditko’s ‘Spider-Man’ fights used to happen in and around Picture Quote #1

They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse Picture Quote #1

A war, with its attendant human suffering, must, when that evil is unavoidable, be made to fragment more than buildings: It must shatter the foundations of thought and re-create. Only in this way does every individual share in the cataclysm and understand the purpose of sacrifice Picture Quote #1

The Crystal Cathedral Ministries, the assets and the buildings, would still be in the hands of the ministries if my father would have simply walked away.

Why does crime happen? Well, you might say that it’s because youths don’t have jobs. Or you might say that’s because the doors of our buildings are not fortified enough.
