Frank Gehry
Image
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.

Image
With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
Frank Gehry
Image
An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.

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.

The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.
Frank Gehry
Image
We don't see the banality, but we accept banality. We accept it as inevitable, and it's not.
Frank Gehry
Image
Artists dismiss me as an architect, so I'm not in their box, and architects dismiss me as an artist, so I'm not in their box.
Frank Gehry
Image
You have freedom, so you have to make choices - and at the point when I make a choice, the building starts to look like a Frank Gehry building. It's a signature.

If you're serious about being an architect, you've got to learn how to take responsibility. It's not fluff. You have to do every detail on every bloody piece of the building. You have to know how the engineering works. You have to know how the fittings go together. You have to master the mechanical, electrical, acoustical - everything.

Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
