Text Quotes
Building becomes architecture only when the mind of man consciously takes it and tries with all his resources to make it beautiful, to put concordance, sympathy with nature, and all that into it. Then you have architecture  (Architecture Quotes) The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society; rather the offspring of a nation’s effort, than the inspired flash of a man of genius  (Architecture Quotes) Architecture is the frame of human existence. We must dedicate this existence more to beauty. For if poetic principle has deserted us, how long are we going to last?  (Architecture Quotes) Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own earth  (Architecture Quotes) It is therefore indisputable that the limbs of architecture are derived from the limbs of man  (Architecture Quotes) The more I examine the universe and study the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the universe in some sense must have known that we were coming  (Architecture Quotes) In architecture the pride of man, his triumph over gravitation, his will to power, assume a visible form. Architecture is a sort of oratory of power by means of forms  (Architecture Quotes) The building is a special place because of its architecture; But it’s people who make it special by participating in it  (Architecture Quotes) The difference between architecture and building is that the former expresses an idea, while the latter is merely a structure built on economical principles. The value of matter depends solely on its capacities of expressing ideas  (Architecture Quotes) Don’t go where it is all fine music and grand talk and beautiful architecture; those things will neither fill anybody’s stomach, nor feed his soul. Go where the gospel is preached, the gospel that really feeds your soul, and go often  (Architecture Quotes) To work in architecture you are so much involved with society, with politics, with bureaucrats. It’s a very complicated process to do large projects. You start to see the society, how it functions, how it works. Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works  (Architecture Quotes) Bad architecture is in the end as much a failure of psychology as of design. It is an example expressed through materials of the same tendencies which in other domains will lead us to marry the wrong people, choose inappropriate jobs and book unsuccessful holidays: the tendency not to understand who we are and what will satisfy us  (Architecture Quotes) 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  (Architecture Quotes) The events of human life, whether public or private, are so intimately linked to architecture that most observers can reconstruct nations or individuals in all the truth of their habits from the remains of their monuments or from their domestic relics  (Architecture Quotes) The bottom line for mathematicians is that the architecture has to be right. In all the mathematics that I did, the essential point was to find the right architecture. It’s like building a bridge. Once the main lines of the structure are right, then the details miraculously fit. The problem is the overall design  (Architecture Quotes) Now do you not see that the eye embraces the beauty of the whole world? It counsels and corrects all the arts of mankind... it is the prince of mathematics, and the sciences founded on it are absolutely certain. It has measured the distances and sizes of the stars it has discovered the elements and their location... it has given birth to architecture and to perspective and to the divine art of painting  (Architecture Quotes) Only when architect, bricklayer and tenant are a unity, or one and the same person, can we speak of architecture. Everything else is not architecture, but a criminal act which has taken on form  (Architecture Quotes) I call architecture petrified music. Really there is something in this; the tone of mind produced by architecture approaches the effect of music  (Architecture Quotes) My ambition has always been to reduce a building’s support to a minimum. The more we diminish supporting structures, the more audacious and important the architecture is. That has been my life’s work  (Architecture Quotes) All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks  (Architecture Quotes) But those musics do not address the larger kind of architecture in time that classical music does, whatever each one of us knows that classical music must mean  (Architecture Quotes) I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead  (Architecture Quotes) In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives  (Architecture Quotes) Architecture is restricted to such a limited vocabulary. A building is either a high-rise or a perimeter block or a town house  (Architecture Quotes) I think architecture is rarely the product of a single ideology. It’s more like it can be shaped by a really big idea. It can accommodate a lot of life forms  (Architecture Quotes) For me, architecture is the means, not the end. It’s a means of making different life forms possible  (Architecture Quotes) I believe that architecture, as anything else in life, is evolutionary. Ideas evolve; they don’t come from outer space and crash into the drawing board  (Architecture Quotes) I am immersed in architecture all day, working in my office or teaching  (Architecture Quotes) I would like to use architecture to create bonds between people who live in cities, and even use it to recover the communities that used to exist in every single city  (Architecture Quotes) As a child, my father’s architecture seemed to me to be industrial in a way. It seemed harsh and kind of chilly; I didn’t respond to it  (Architecture Quotes)
