- 3. Beauty is a by-product.
- 6. The only way to make a building beautiful is to invest in its construction, to use expensive materials and to build it with care
- 11. Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context – a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan
- 13. An idea is salvation by imagination
- 15. Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us
- 20. The details are not the details. They make the design
- 21. Architecture begins where engineering ends
- 23. To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom
- 24. A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. Alone, a symbol is meaningless, but with enough people, blowing up a building can change the world
Down
- 1. The fundamental essence of the traditional architect is not so much invention as the ability to control and order the inventions of others
- 2. The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating
- 4. The reality of architectural experience is more fluid than the neat, fixed idea of the building as an object
- 5. Less is more
- 7. 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
- 8. The difference between a good building and a bad building is the attention paid to the transitions
- 9. Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness
- 10. The home should be the treasure chest of living
- 12. A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable
- 14. Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves
- 16. Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that's all
- 17. I believe that architecture today needs to reflect on the tasks and possibilities which are inherently its own
- 18. Architecture and furniture are art forms when regarded as separate disciplines, but when joined in the service of a common vision, they form a noble art
- 19. The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done... you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do
- 22. Architecture is not about designing buildings, it’s about giving shape to our lives
