Not Building Houses Quotes

The work that launched Snohetta into the architectural big leagues was their Oslo Opera House, which will certainly rank among the firm’s highlights whatever else they may do. Although this is by any measure a triumph of city planning, the building itself is not quite a masterpiece, though very fine indeed Picture Quote #1

It took me some years to clear my head of what Paris wanted me to admire about it, and to notice what I preferred instead.

To go to the White House is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In fact, the building is not that big Picture Quote #1

A house isn’t really understandable until it settles into the site: until it’s built, furnished and lived in for four or five years. The reality is not on paper but in how a building sits on the land - how it relates to trees, to slopes, to water, to gardens Picture Quote #1

Given some limited funds to spend, you can either create yet another national employment program or you can equip houses with even better cameras, sensors, and locks Picture Quote #1

When a man says he is building a house for himself and his posterity, he does not mean to be understood as saying that he has any thought of binding them, nor is it to be inferred that he is so foolish as to imagine that he has any right or power to bind them, to live in it Picture Quote #1

The reason for this project comes from my childhood, that is clear to me. I did not have any toys. So, I played in the bricks of ruined buildings around me and with which I built houses Picture Quote #1

Not far from our house, and opposite the old church with the golden cross, stood a large building, even larger than the church, and having many towers Picture Quote #1
