Architects Quotes

I will never tire of recommending the custom, practiced by the best architects, of preparing not only drawings and sketches, but also models of wood or any other material. These... enable us to examine... the work as a whole... and, before continuing any further, to estimate the likely trouble and expense 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

You need a prince to make a town in an intellectual sense. Developers want to make money. If they cared about architecture, they’d become architects. I’ve had so many projects that never came off because they had no sponsor, and not because they were utopian. I just want to build a town that’s normal Picture Quote #1

Cities must urge urban planners and architects to reinforce pedestrianism as an integrated city policy to develop lively, safe, sustainable and healthy cities. It is equally urgent to strengthen the social function of city space as a meeting place that contributes toward the aims of social sustainability and an open and democratic society Picture Quote #1

We create our own government. We are responsible for its beauty and for its ugliness. We are responsible for its glories and for its failures and, most important, we are responsible for amending those failures no matter who are their most immediate architects Picture Quote #1

If architects weren’t arrogant, they wouldn’t be architects. I don’t know a modest good architect Picture Quote #1

I guess I can’t be a great architect. Great architects have a recognizable style. But if every building I did were the same, it would be pretty boring Picture Quote #1

Architects themselves tend to shy away from the word, preferring instead to talk about the manipulation of space Picture Quote #1

Our children may learn about heroes of the past. Our task is to make ourselves architects of the future Picture Quote #1

Whatever comes to us in life we create first in our mentality. As the building is a reality in all its details in the architects mind before a stone or brick is laid, so we create mentally everything which later becomes a reality in our achievement Picture Quote #1

When you see a culture where the intellectual architects of the invasion are not shamed for their behavior but rewarded within the mainstream media culture, black comedy, satire, absurdism is the only response Picture Quote #1

Golf course architects make me sick. They can’t play themselves, so they rig the courses so nobody else can play either Picture Quote #1

We have no sociology of architecture. Architects are unaccustomed to social analysis and mistrust it; sociologists have fatter fish to fry Picture Quote #1

Architects work in two ways. One is to respond precisely to a client’s needs or demands. Another is to look at what the client asks and reinterpret it Picture Quote #1

Most architects work in studios largely divorced from academia, as if ideas, criticism and historical research were irrelevant Picture Quote #1

Often, architects work too hard trying to make their buildings look different. It’s like we’re actors let loose on a stage, all speaking our parts at the same time in our own private languages without an audience Picture Quote #1

Im particularly interested in the public role that all buildings play. I believe that we architects should try to go beyond our basic obligations to the public, and our opportunities to do so are many Picture Quote #1

Architects feel empowered to give opinions about politics and sociology and philosophy without knowing much about it. Kind of in the same way that they think they can design furniture or fashion or utensils for dining Picture Quote #1

I think architects tend to believe that they can almost do anything, which is a wonderful characteristic, but in some cases you just fall flat Picture Quote #1

Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit Picture Quote #1

Abusers are engineers and architects and janitors and police officers and any other walk of life. There’s not a job or profession that is exempt Picture Quote #1

God created music as a common language for all men. It inspires the poets, the composers and the architects. It lures us to search our souls for the meaning of the mysteries described in ancient books Picture Quote #1

True, there are architects so called in this country, and I have heard of one at least possessed with the idea of making architectural ornaments have a core of truth, a necessity, and hence a beauty, as if it were a revelation to him. All very well perhaps from his point of view, but only a little better than the common dilettantism Picture Quote #1

Companies and their brands need to reach out and speak directly to consumers, to honor their values, and to form meaningful relationships with them. They must become architects of community, consistently demonstrating the values that their customer community expects in exchange for their loyalty and purchases Picture Quote #1

The architects who benefit us most maybe those generous enough to lay aside their claims to genius in order to devote themselves to assembling graceful but predominantly unoriginal boxes. Architecture should have the confidence and the kindness to be a little boring Picture Quote #1

There’s this very vulnerable planet of ours with finite resources. Architects and designers have, I think, a fair responsibility for conserving energy and materials, and making things durable Picture Quote #1

The difference between me and the newer artists is that I have the history with the architects, the masters that started the music. I know where the music came from Picture Quote #1

A large number of us have developed a feeling that architects tend to design houses for the approval of fellow architects and critics, not for the tenants Picture Quote #1

Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact Picture Quote #1
