Architecture is not about space but about time.
Vito Acconci
Image
Architecture cannot be understood without some knowledge of the society it serves.
Hugh Casson
Image
Architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.
Thom Mayne
Image
Architecture is inherently a totalitarian activity. One thing we hate about it is that when you design a space, you're probably designing people's behavior in that space. I don't know if we know how to change that, but our goal is to make spaces for people rather than people being subservient to spaces.
Vito Acconci
Image
Architecture is involved with the world, but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work, like any art.
Thom Mayne
Image
Architecture is the very mirror of life.You only have to cast your eyes on buildings to feel the presence of the past, the spirit of a place they are the reflection of society.
I. M. Pei
Image
Architecture trumps licensing any time.
Tim O'Reilly
Image
Architecture is a hypothesis about the future that holds that subsequent change will be confined to that part of the design space encompassed by that architecture.
Brian Foote
Image
Architecture is the printing-press of all ages, and gives a history of the state of the society in which it was erected, from the cromlech of the Druids to those toy-shops of royal bad taste
Sydney, Lady Morgan
Image
Architecture is my first love, if you want to talk about what moves me... the ordering of space, the visual pleasure, architecture's power to construct our days and nights.
Barbara Kruger
Image
Architecture is too slow in its realisation to be a 'problem solver'.
Cedric Price
Image
Architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart. Creative work is expressed in our time as a union of technology and humanity.
Kenzo Tange
Image
Architecture is the art which so disposes and adorns the edifices raised by man, that the sight of them may contribute to his mental health, power, and pleasure.
John Ruskin
Image
Architecture is a dangerous mix of power and importance.
Rem Koolhaas
Image
Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you'll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?
Jeremy Renner
Image
Architecture has its own realm. It has a special physical relationship with life. I do not think of it primarily as either a message or symbol, but as an envelope and background for life which goes on in and around it, a sensitive container for the rhythm of footsteps on the floor, for the concentration of work, for the silence of sleep.
Peter Zumthor
Image
Architecture, in itself, at the end of the day, is a rational profession.
Jimenez Lai
Image
Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
Philip Johnson
Image
Architecture is the art of reconciliation between ourselves andthe world, and this mediation takes place through the senses
Juhani Pallasmaa
Image
Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Architecture is basically the design of interiors, the art of organizing interior space.
Philip Johnson
Image
Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
Julia Morgan
Image
Architecture is an imposed art in some ways, imposed upon the public, so people must be sure about what you're doing. You have to be sure about what you're doing.
Renzo Piano
Image
Architecture isn't just about creating new buildings, sometimes its about retuning what's already there.
