I love building spaces: architecture furniture all of it probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.

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

Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore is to make those sentiments more precise.

Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.

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

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.

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.

Architecture is the learned game correct and magnificent of forms assembled in the light.

Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup but the tea.

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 effect the quality of life of the people.

Architecture is the art of how to waste space.

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

Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.

An architect's most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board and a wrecking bar at the site.

Believe me that was a happy age before the days of architects before the days of builders.

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time his day his age.
