No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.

Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.

We build buildings which are terribly restless. And buildings don't go anywhere. They shouldn't be restless.

Architecture is a visual art and the buildings speak for themselves.

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.

The loftier the building the deeper must the foundation be laid.

Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.

A city building you experience when you walk a suburban building you experience when you drive.

I hate vacations. If you can build buildings why sit on the beach?

It is not the beauty of a building you should look at its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.

But the building's identity resided in the ornament.

To me a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.

Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique poetic products of the heart.

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.

The higher the building the lower the morals.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking but all in harmony together.

Light God's eldest daughter is a principal beauty in a building.
