Text Quotes
The ultimate pleasure of architecture lies in the most forbidden parts of the architectural act, where limits are perverted and prohibitions are transgressed.  (Architectural Quotes) I agonize over things like this - the order of things, section titles, all this architectural sort of stuff. Takes me years to figure out.  (Architectural Quotes) I could walk into anyone’s home one time and draw a three-dimensional architectural plan of the inside of their home from memory, but I could not add up a column of numbers.  (Architectural Quotes) It is a hopeless endeavor to make the form and content of earlier architectural epochs usable for our time; in this, even the strongest artistic talent must fail. We see repeatedly how the outstanding builders fail to achieve an effect because their work does not serve the will of the age.  (Architectural Quotes) Architectural drawing is a language with conventions where the rules can be deliberately misused; a well-composed architectural drawing can both contain correct and incorrect arrangements of meaningful things.  (Architectural Quotes) As a teenager, my father took me to the shows at the Architectural Association and to places like Milton Keynes back when it was first being built. But I couldn’t find anything for me. There seemed to be despair at the possibility of the built environment possessing any imagination in the real world.  (Architectural Quotes) I like architectural shapes. You can’t put any shape on any body, except on the runway. In reality, it has to look and feel flattering.  (Architectural Quotes) Fragmentation is like classful addressing -- an interesting early architectural error that shows how much experimentation was going on while IP was being designed.  (Architectural Quotes) People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that’s ok.  (Architectural Quotes) I wanted to work in the arts. My dream come true would be to be an architectural historian and work with the royal palaces and all the fabulous art collections. But I’m not committed enough.  (Architectural Quotes) My first architectural project I did, I must have been fifteen, was for neighbors across the street, a couple of school teachers, and I designed a house for them. I didn’t know anything about Le Corbusier or anything like that, but it ended up being a very cubistic kind of house. I always wanted to be an architect.  (Architectural Quotes) Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people’s lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society.  (Architectural Quotes) I was a very interested arts student, I was always into that part of school and when I got into high school I went into architectural drafting. It gave me an understanding of how to build things and it’s really helped me put things in perspective. With my music and my movies, to me it’s all art.  (Architectural Quotes) Back when I was a professional model-maker at Industrial Light and Magic, my specialty was hard-edged construction - spaceships, miniature sets, and architectural stuff. These objects were sometimes just 12 inches across yet needed enough detail to fill a movie screen.  (Architectural Quotes) Although prefabrication has a long history - the ancient Romans shipped pre-cut stone columns, pediments, and other architectural elements to their colonies in North Africa, where the numbered parts were reassembled into temples - the idea took on a new impetus with the technological advances of the Industrial Revolution.  (Architectural Quotes) I’ve built a tree house; because of my architectural training, it’s heavily over-designed, with an oriel window sticking out of it and flying foxes coming off it.  (Architectural Quotes) I hope that America as a whole, and especially its architects, will become more seriously involved in producing a new architectural culture that would bring the nation to the apex - where it has stood before - and lead the world.  (Architectural Quotes) In Britain, we’ve tended to replace the kind of architectural culture valued in much of Europe with an in-flight magazine lifestyle - all branding, marketing and ‘accessibility’, a word that usually means dumbing-down.  (Architectural Quotes) Maybe, just maybe, we shall at last come to care for the most important, most challenging, surely the most satisfying of all architectural creations: building cities for people to live in  (Architectural Quotes) Architecture and architectural freedom are above all a social issue that must be seen from inside a political structure, not from outside it  (Architectural Quotes) Free men and women... can think across time, viewing their own lives, inclusive of past, present, and future, as architectural wholes, static in mental space. They can therefore see, as others cannot, the cracks and buttresses of repeated action, the points of stress, the established framework. They are not perfect; but they are less imperfect than we by a full dimension of being  (Architectural Quotes) The first principle of architectural beauty is that the essential lines of a construction be determined by a perfect appropriateness to its use  (Architectural Quotes) Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people’s lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society  (Architectural Quotes) People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that’s ok  (Architectural Quotes) We learned to put discipline in the haircuts by using actual geometry, actual architectural shapes and bone structure. The cut had to be perfect and layered beautifully, so that when a woman shook it, it just fell back in  (Architectural Quotes) I was a very interested arts student, I was always into that part of school and when I got into high school I went into architectural drafting. It gave me an understanding of how to build things and it’s really helped me put things in perspective. With my music and my movies, to me it’s all art  (Architectural Quotes) Among these temples there is one which far surpasses all the rest, whose grandeur of architectural details no human tongue is able to describe; for within its precincts, surrounded by a lofty wall, there is room enough for a town of five hundred families  (Architectural Quotes) A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature  (Architectural Quotes) They couldn’t wait to get me out. My dad found my place, my mom helped me pack, and my brother was making architectural plans for my bedroom. It was just what you do at 18  (Architectural Quotes) Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don’t want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist  (Architectural Quotes)
