Text Quotes
When I start, my first idea for a building is with the material. I believe architecture is about that. It’s not about paper, it’s not about forms. It’s about space and material (Architecture Quotes)
I have tried to get close to the frontier between architecture and sculpture and to understand architecture as an art (Architecture Quotes)
Our lives are complex; our emotions are complex; our intellectual desires are complex. I believe that architecture … needs to mirror that complexity in every single space that we have, in every intimacy that we possess (Architecture Quotes)
Architecture never derived its force from stability of culture, but rather from the expression of those moments when that sense of stability slipped (Architecture Quotes)
If architecture is, as is sometimes said, music set in concrete, then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports (Architecture Quotes)
Architecture has to be greater than just architecture. It has to address social values, as well as technical and aesthetic values (Architecture Quotes)
Architecture is an imposed art in some ways, imposed upon the public, so people must be sure about what you’re doing. You have to be sure about what you’re doing (Architecture Quotes)
When you feel the architecture just click, as though it couldn’t have been anything else, it’s due to a true understanding of the site and the plan and section (Architecture Quotes)
The practice of architecture is the most delightful of all pursuits. Also, next to agriculture, it is the most necessary to man. One must eat, one must have shelter. Next to religious worship itself, it is the spiritual handmaiden of our deepest convictions (Architecture Quotes)
Architects have made architecture too complex. We need to simplify it and use a language that everyone can understand (Architecture Quotes)
In a strange way, architecture is really an unfinished thing, because even though the building is finished, it takes on a new life. It becomes part of a new dynamic: how people will occupy it, use it, think about it (Architecture Quotes)
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 (Architecture Quotes)
It’s always helpful to look outside of the web for your inspiration, to places where you might not at first expect to find a solution. The world is a collage of inspiration, from newspapers, magazine publishing, and advertising to product design, architecture and the fine arts (Architecture Quotes)
My weakness... is architecture. I think of my work as ephemeral architecture, dedicated to the beauty of the female body (Architecture Quotes)
The art and architecture of the past that we know is that which remains. The best is that which remains where it was painted, placed or built. Most of the art of the past that could be moved was taken by conquerors. Almost all recent art is conquered as soon as it’s made, since it’s first shown for sale and once sold is exhibited as foreign in the alien museums. The public has no idea of art other than that it is something portable that can be bought. There is no constructive effort; there is no cooperative effort. This situation is primitive in relation to a few earlier and better times (Architecture Quotes)
In the summer there are twelve cottonwoods around the pool, which in the winter become an elevated thicket. There is also a courtyard with a small garden of plants that stay green all year. The winter is bleak. This place is primarily for the installation of art, necessarily for whatever architecture of my own that can be included in an existing situation, for work, and altogether for my idea of living (Architecture Quotes)
Your rainbow panorama enters into a dialogue with the existing architecture and reinforces what is assured beforehand, that is to say the view of the city. I have created a space which virtually erases the boundaries between inside and outside – where people become a little uncertain as to whether they have stepped into a work or into a part of the museum. This uncertainty is important to me, as it encourages people to think and sense beyond the limits within which they are accustomed to moving (Architecture Quotes)
The slurbs, urban sprawl, and the infinite number, of housing developments of the postwar boom have contributed to the architecture of entropy (Architecture Quotes)
My university degree is in art and, yes, I do a lot of drawing for all my books. I have a big drafting table set up in a spare bedroom and I cover it with maps and house plans and sketches that I use in the books. Also, I truly love architecture, so that plays a big part in all my books (Architecture Quotes)
Architecture begins to matter when it brings delight and sadness and perplexity and awe along with a roof over our heads (Architecture Quotes)
If architecture is going to nudge, cajole, and inspire a community to challenge the status quo into making responsible changes, it will take the subversive leadership of academics and practitioners who keep reminding students of the profession’s responsibilities (Architecture Quotes)
Architecture is about the understanding of the world and turning it into a more meaningful and humane place (Architecture Quotes)
No matter how hard life is, you are your own architecture. If you give up then there’s no one that can help you, but if you want to keep building your future, then no one can stop you either (Architecture Quotes)
As much as the needs of fact, the needs of the spirit and the senses, must be satisfied. Architecture is as much a part of the realm of art as it is of technology; the fusion of thinking and feeling (Architecture Quotes)
Good information architecture enables people to find and do what they came for. Great information architecture takes find out of the equation: the site behaves as the visitor expects. Poor or missing information architecture neuters content, design, and programming and devalues the site for its owners as well as the audience it was created to serve. It’s like a film with no director. The actors may be good, the sets may be lovely, but audiences will leave soon after the opening credits (Architecture Quotes)
Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperor’s love wrought in living stones (Architecture Quotes)
Britain gets the architecture it deserves. We don’t value architecture, we don’t take it seriously, we don’t want to pay for it and the architect isn’t trusted (Architecture Quotes)
I never studied sculpture, engineering or architecture. In fact, after college I applied to seven art schools and was rejected by all seven (Architecture Quotes)
Concepts differentiate architecture from mere building... A bicycle shed with a concept is architecture; a cathedral without one is just a building (Architecture Quotes)
In architecture, space was a material to be shaped, even created. For these men, the material was silence. Silence like water in which you could drown, the absence of talk as constricting as the absence of air (Architecture Quotes)
