Old Architecture Quotes

Modernism in architecture went hand in hand with socialist and fascist projects to rid old Europe of its hierarchical past Picture Quote #1

I’m often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That’s impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more Picture Quote #1

I think the chance of finding beauty is higher if you don’t work on it directly. Beauty in architecture is driven by practicality. This is what you learn from studying the old townscapes of the Swiss farmers Picture Quote #1

Quebec City is the most European of any city in North America; they speak French all the time. There is a part of town called Old Quebec which is really like being in France. The architecture is just gorgeous, food, shopping. I’d say Quebec City is the most beautiful city in North America I’ve seen Picture Quote #1

My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people Picture Quote #1

Splendid architecture, the love of your life, an old friend... they can all go drifting by unseen if you’re not careful Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture, and the language that we use about politics, it’s completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties Picture Quote #1

I love antique architecture, so if I have any indulgences, I have owned and renovated and reconstructed a lot of old houses Picture Quote #1

Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know Picture Quote #1

I love old architecture. I love collecting furniture, mixing really earthy things with the very polished. I don’t come from an interiors background, so I’m not an expert. I just enjoy going to antiques shows and finding interesting things Picture Quote #1
