Architecture begins where Engineering ends.

Architecture is invention.

My client is not in a hurry.

Space, light, and order, those are the things that men need, just as much     they need bread or a place to sleep

We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.

Architectural, forms equals social form.

Architecture seizes upon space, encompasses space and is space itself.

Cube within a cube.

Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together, there it begins.

Supply and demand regulate architecture form.

I don’t know why people hire architects and tell them what to do.

Function influence but does not dictate form.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.

I don’t divide architecture, landscape and gardening to me they are one.

Architects are not clients. We can't build without something to build.

Less is more.

Architecture is a science arising out of many other sciences and adorned with much and varied learning by the help of which a judgement is formed of those works which are the result of other arts.

Architecture is the art of how to waste space.

As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown.

To create, one must first question everything.

One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again.

Each new situation requires new architecture.

The mother art is architecture, without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.

Less is bore.

My passion and great enjoyment for architecture and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it is because I believe we architects, can affect the quality of life of the people

Art and architecture, the new unity.

Those who look for the laws of nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.

A good building is not one that hurts the landscape but one which makes it more beautiful.

A modern, harmonic, and lively architecture is the visible sign of an authentic democracy.

Truth is indispensable to architecture and architectural lies concept.

Even a brick wants to be something.

My work is not about “form follows function” but “form follows beauty” or even better, “form follows feminine.

Beauty grows from a necessity not from the repetition of formulas.

Form does not necessarily follows function.

All fine architectural values are human values, else not available.

We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.

When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I've finished, if the solution is not beautiful I know it's wrong.

To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it.
