A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive.
Helmut Jahn
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.
Louis Kahn
A house is a machine for living in.
Le Corbusier
An architect's most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board, and a wrecking bar at the site.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.
John Portman
Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.
Adolf Loos
Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
Julia Morgan
Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.
Yoshio Taniguchi
Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that's all.
