• A journalist and an information architect face exactly the same problem – how to give shape to the pile of information in front of you in a way that will make it easy and natural for people to comprehend. I can’t imagine any better preparation for the work I do now. – Jesse James Garrett • A modern, harmonic and lively architecture is the visible sign of authentic democracy. – Walter Gropius • Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts. Painting and sculpture are but images, Are merely shadows cast by outward things On stone or canvas, having in themselves No separate existence. Architecture, Existing in itself, and not in seeming A something it is not, surpasses them As substance shadow. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

• All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks. – Gilbert K. Chesterton • All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space. – Philip Johnson • All fine architectural values are human values, else not valuable. – Frank Lloyd Wright • An architect’s most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board, and a wrecking bar at the site. – Frank Lloyd Wright • And when an architect has designed a house with large windows, which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses, then curtains come to play a big role in architecture. – Arne Jacobsen • Architects of grandeur are often the master builders of disillusionment. – Bryant H. McGill • Architects today tend to depreciate themselves, to regard themselves as no more than just ordinary citizens without the power to reform the future. – Kenzo Tange • 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.

Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith. – Walter Gropius • Architecture begins where engineering ends. – Walter Gropius • Architecture can’t fully represent the chaos and turmoil that are part of the human personality, but you need to put some of that turmoil into the architecture, or it isn’t real. – Frank Stella • Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea. – Yoshio Taniguchi • Architecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived. – Frank Lloyd Wright • Architecture is not based on concrete and steel, and the elements of the soil. It’s based on wonder. – Daniel Libeskind • Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space … On the one hand it’s about shelter, but it’s also about pleasure. – Zaha Hadid • Architecture is the art of how to waste space. – Philip Johnson • Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light. – Le Corbusier • Architecture is the reaching out for the truth. – Louis Kahn • Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own earth – Frank Lloyd Wright • Architecture is to make us know and remember who we are. – Geoffrey Jellicoe • Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness. – Frank Gehry • Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul. – Ernest Dimnet • Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact. – William S. Burroughs • Artists to my mind are the real architects of change. – William S. Burroughs

It is the emotional part of a structure. – John Hench • Designed by architects with honorable intentions but hands of palsy. – Jimmy Breslin • Each man the architect of his own fate. – Sallust • Every great architect is – necessarily – a great poet.

Each man is the architect of his own fate. – Appius Claudius Caecus • Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times. – Richard Rogers • Gratitude is an attitude that hooks us up to our source of supply. And the more grateful you are, the closer you become to your maker, to the architect of the universe, to the spiritual core of your being. It’s a phenomenal lesson. – Bob Proctor • He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery. – Harold Wilson • Home is where you hang your architect. – Clare Boothe Luce • I almost rented a house by an architect named Schindler, but I couldn’t afford it.

But all he was worried about is whether or not I wanted money from him. – Jake Roberts • If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architect’s task – his most difficult task – is always that of selecting. – Arne Jacobsen • I’m often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That’s impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more. – Thom Mayne • In Europe, architects consider themselves artists.

Buckminster Fuller • Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die. – Daniel Burnham • May I say, finally, that I have no illusions of grandeur; quite to the contrary, I am very humble in my knowledge that through forty years of my life my life has been an open book of service to my fellow architects and for the public good. – Ralph Thomas Walker • Most architects say: I want to use this type of glass, even if it’s too reflective or doesn’t let enough light in.

It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical. – Michael Ende • No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple. – John Ruskin • Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men.

M. Stern • The first gesture of an architect is to draw a perimeter; in other words, to separate the microclimate from the macro space outside. This in itself is a sacred act. Architecture in itself conveys this idea of limiting space. It’s a limit between the finite and the infinite. From this point of view, all architecture is sacred. – Mario Botta • The great problem of the concert hall is that the shoebox is the ideal shape for acoustics but that no architect worth their names wants to build a shoebox. – Rem Koolhaas • The interesting thing is when we design and architect a server, we don’t design it for Windows or Linux, we design it for both.

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. – Ai Weiwei • Under capitalism everybody is the architect of his own fortune. – Ludwig von Mises • We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims. – R. Buckminster Fuller • We should have a system of economics that is structure that is organic tools. We do not have it. We are all hanging by our eyebrows from skyhooks economically, just as we are architecturally. – Frank Lloyd Wright • When it comes to getting things done, we need fewer architects and more bricklayers. – Colleen Barrett • When you look at Japanese traditional architecture, you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious, close contact with nature – this very unique to Japan. – Tadao Ando • Where do architects and designers get their ideas? The answer, of course, is mainly from other architects and designers, so is it mere casuistry to distinguish between tradition and plagiarism? – Nancy Banks-Smith • With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects – the building is there to be used, and times change. – Arne Jacobsen • You should just enjoy it, but as soon as you decide that it is going to be your career, no matter whether you want to be a doctor or an architect or anything else, you need to work 5 hours a day. – Guy Forget • Your life will be no better than the plans you make and the action you take.
