It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.
Frank Gehry
Image
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
Frank Gehry

I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.
Frank Gehry

Architecture is a small piece of this human equation, but for those of us who practice it, we believe in its potential to make a difference, to enlighten and to enrich the human experience, to penetrate the barriers of misunderstandin g and provide a beautiful context for life's drama.

When people condemn me for designing iconic buildings in cities and not having an idea what a city is, they haven't done their homework. I started in urban design and city planning. It's just that when I got out of school there wasn't much of a market for that. There still isn't.
