Buildings Quotes

They work now with computers for building buildings and books, but not ever with new ideas Picture Quote #1

Modernist buildings exclude dialogue, and the void that they create around themselves is not a public space but a desertification Picture Quote #1

There is a deep human need for beauty and if you ignore that need in architecture your buildings will not last Picture Quote #1

Classical buildings endure because they are loved, admired and accepted, and enjoy an innate adaption to human needs and purposes Picture Quote #1

In civilized societies, if you are offended by a cartoon, you do not burn flags, take up guns and raid buildings, chant death to your opponents, or threaten suicide bombings. You write a letter to the editor Picture Quote #1

The bottom line may be that my inventing buildings is, indeed, a very private kind of activity. But it’s done to be shared. It is comforting and consoling. From the reactions I get I can see I’m not doing something strange Picture Quote #1

My buildings should have an emotional core –a space which, in itself, has an emotional nice feeling Picture Quote #1

I love church buildings, particularly cathedrals, and I like living in spaces that remind me of music or evoke that creative energy Picture Quote #1

I see my buildings as pieces of cities, and in my designs I try to make them into responsible and contributing citizens Picture Quote #1

From 50 centuries, we can learn about the close relationship between garden design and urban design, because both arts involve the composition of buildings with paving, landform, water, vegetation and climate Picture Quote #1

I envision a day when every city and town has front and back yards, community gardens and growing spaces, nurtured into life by neighbors who are no longer strangers, but friends who delight in the edible rewards offered from a garden they discovered together. Imagine small strips of land between apartment buildings that have been turned into vegetable gardens, and urban orchards planted at schools and churches to grow food for our communities. The seeds of the urban farming movement already are growing within our reality Picture Quote #1

If you want to learn about a culture, you look at what buildings the people lived in but you also want to know about their cosmos Picture Quote #1

When I was working in my first job engineering construction, what I liked the most was working with architects and making buildings that had this creative side coming from the architect and that were making them a big success Picture Quote #1

When I was in high school, my friends and I would drive out into the country to abandoned houses and structures... haha... to ghost hunt. We would scare each other so bad! We would sometimes camp out by the abandoned buildings just to scare ourselves! Such good times. The adrenaline of real fear is so cool! Picture Quote #1

Of course, I have given my engineers some headaches over the years, but they go with me. I have always wanted my buildings to be as light as possible, to touch the ground gently, to swoop and soar, and to surprise Picture Quote #1

For me, I guess I’m the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes Picture Quote #1

It is possible to make buildings by stringing together patterns, in a rather loose way. A building made like this, is an assembly of patterns. It is not dense. It is not profound. But it is also possible to put patterns together in such a way that many patterns overlap in the same physical space: the building is very dense; it has many meanings captured in a small space; and through this density, it becomes profound Picture Quote #1

I managed to potter along tolerably well in the morning, sitting in the sun and sketching the old buildings... but in the afternoon, sitting in the shade... with stiff fingers and chilled bones... the water froze in little cakes all over the picture Picture Quote #1

The bankers just got a good cussing by everybody for loaning too much money. Well, they got some awful nice buildings. So when a banker fails, he fails in splendor Picture Quote #1

When the old way of seeing was displaced, a hollowness came into architecture. Our buildings show a constant effort to fill that void, to recapture that sense of life which was once to be found in any house or shed. Yet the sense of place is not to be recovered through any attitude, device, or style, but through the principles of pattern, spirit, and context Picture Quote #1

I aim to create furniture that appears in a room as buildings on a skyline and reminds the viewer of the interaction between objects of design and architectural space Picture Quote #1

I began to see new buildings, too, which were connected by futuristic walkways lit from beneath. Long, cool perspectives of modern architecture, rising phosphorescent and eerie from the rubble Picture Quote #1

I think climbing mountains or buildings or whatever has been a really good metaphor for finishing my work. Because no matter how tired you get, no matter how you feel like you can’t possibly do this, somehow you do Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be an architect. I used to draw houses and buildings and construct buildings on my own Picture Quote #1

We are the only country in the world that trashes its old buildings. Too late we realize how very much we need them Picture Quote #1

Scientists say an 8.9 earthquake here could knock down buildings, flood coastal areas... and improve the roads Picture Quote #1

You cannot separate the buildings out from the infrastructure of cites and the mobility of transit Picture Quote #1

We need to make material progress, but we need inner development too... remember that the real development we seek is not in the buildings but in our hearts and minds Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be considered a good craftsman. I wanted my dresses to be constructed like buildings, molded to the curves of the female form, stylizing its shape Picture Quote #1

Performing arts buildings are complex. The acoustics, the sight lines and all that have to just be perfect. So you begin with just making these things sublime as musical instruments. And if you fail there, you have failed it all Picture Quote #1
