The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.

I'm going to design the container and interior spaces. You bring your own stuff to it and make it your own.

I didn't have any interest in doing rich people's homes. I still don't.
Frank Gehry
Image
Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.
Frank Gehry
Image
For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.

Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable.

Erich Mendelsohn's drawings are expressive and beautiful. If he'd had the computers we have now, everything I've done he would have done before me. I would have had to figure out something else.
Frank Gehry
Image
Here we are surrounded by material that's being manufactured in unimaginable quantities worldwide and is used everywhere. I don't like it, no one likes it, and yet it's pervasive. We don't even see it.
Frank Gehry
Image
I think my best skill as an architect is the achievement of hand-to-eye coordination. I am able to transfer a sketch into a model into the building.
Frank Gehry
Image
Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
Frank Gehry
Image
My father probably - he had flashes of creativity - he used to do store windows for fruit stores that he worked in and stuff.

Image
I'm of two minds about doing any interviews these days. It seems a lot of the world is out to play gotcha with me. I guess they always go after people these days. It's sport.
Frank Gehry
Image
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction. Everybody’s an artist. Unfortunately we don’t treat them as such.

Image
The back of Saint Peter's is one of the finest pieces of architecture I've ever seen.
Frank Gehry
Image
Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.
Frank Gehry
Image
The fact is I'm an opportunist. I'll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I'm searching for an idea that works.

We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that. Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable. People say, This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me.
