Thom Mayne Quotes

You might say that when you step inside, you’re entering a honorific space, but that’s something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned that in order to achieve what I wanted, it made more sense to negotiate than to defend the autonomy of my work by pounding my fist on the table Picture Quote #1

Our idea of nature is increasingly being determined by scientific developments. And they have become decisive for our image of reality Picture Quote #1

Scientific reality is the modern human condition, and you can see that in the symbolic nature of my work Picture Quote #1

The huge problem in our society is the enormous ignorance of the ideas that underlie modern art Picture Quote #1

We only exist in terms of how we think we exist. Meaning every cultural development is fabricated and can be fabricated Picture Quote #1

Architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that to change the environment is to change behaviour Picture Quote #1

Architecture is a discipline that takes time and patience. If one spends enough years writing complex novels one might be able, someday, to construct a respectable haiku Picture Quote #1

You can’t make anything authentic by asking people what they want because they don’t know what they want. That’s what they’re looking at you for Picture Quote #1

It’s too simplistic to advance the notion of the autonomy of art as a reason for turning away from the public. You can have autonomy and simultaneously have connections with the social and political world Picture Quote #1

So I am totally aware that when I defend the autonomy of art I’m going counter to my own development. It’s more an instinctive reaction, meant to protect the private aspect of the work, the part I am most interested in and which nowadays is at risk in our culture Picture Quote #1

So we can’t go backwards, we can only go where the evolutionary trajectory is taking us and attune our ideas about ourselves and our existence to that course Picture Quote #1
