“There will never be great architects or great

architecture without great patrons.”

“Architects have made architecture too complex. We

need to simplify it and use a language that everyone

can understand.”

“In any architecture, there is an equity between the

pragmatic function and the symbolic function.”

“What surprises me most in architecture, as in other

techniques, is that a project has one life in its built

state but another in its written or drawn state."

“The purpose of architecture is to create an

atmosphere in which man can live, work, and enjoy.”

“Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak

for themselves.”

“Profit and bottom line, the contemporary mantra,

eliminates the very source of architectural

expression.”

"Architecture is the design of space, both interior and

exterior. So it’s much more closely related to dance

than it is to painting or sculpture.”

“Architecture is not a private affair; even a house

must serve a whole family and its friends, and most

buildings are used by everybody, people of all walks

of life. If a building is to meet the needs of all the

people, the architect must look for some common

ground of understanding and experience.”

“The great thing about being an architect is you can

walk into your dreams.”

“Architecture is an art when one consciously or

unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the

atmosphere and when this environment produces

well being.”

“If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.”

“Tradition is a challenge to innovation.”

“Architecture is much more than a profession; It’s a

discipline.”

“Architecture isn't just about creating new buildings,

sometimes its about retuning what's already there.”

“Our ultimate goal, therefore, was the composite but

inseparable work of art --- the great building --- in

which the old dividing line between monumental and

decorative elements would have disappeared

forever.”
