Moshe Safdie Quotes

Who knows, maybe I am simply a talented architect Picture Quote #1

Countries and places have a history, a story, and a culture Picture Quote #1

He who seeks truth shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty shall find vanity. He who seeks order shall find gratification. He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed. He who considers himself the servant of his fellow beings shall find the joy of self-expression. He who seeks self-expression shall fall into the pit of arrogance Picture Quote #1

Urban design as a discipline barely exists in most American and Canadian cities. In Singapore, there are innovative transportation strategies at work Picture Quote #1

I’m completely taken and impressed by the planning authority of Singapore and its Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). It’s the most cutting-edge agency in the world. They have very effective guidelines for development, and they review design as it evolves Picture Quote #1

I think you need to, as an architect, understand the essence of a place and create a building that feels like it resonates with the culture of a place.

Architecture has joined the world of fashion, but fashion is passing and architecture is timeless Picture Quote #1

There is a profound ethic to architecture which is different from the other arts Picture Quote #1

Beauty connotes humanity. We call a natural object beautiful because we see that its form expresses fitness, the perfect fulfillment of function Picture Quote #1

The greatest satisfaction, I think, is when a building opens and the public possesses it and you cut the umbilical cord and you see it taking on its own life. There’s no greater satisfaction Picture Quote #1

Architecture should be rooted in the past, and yet be part of our own time and forward looking Picture Quote #1

I want my children to be able to meet and play and communicate with many other children on their own, not only when they are driven somewhere. I want them to grow up in an environment that is not just a place where people sleep but where people work.. and where people enjoy themselves 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
