Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.
Ambrose Bierce

Alvar Aalto

James Maslow
Image
Architecture is crystallized music.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
I would never go to a place and live there because the weather was good or the scenery was beautiful or the architecture was wonderful. I would only go because the people are kind, and in America, everybody's your friend and happiness rains down from the sky.
Quentin Crisp
Image
New York's architecture alone is enough to inspire a whole album. In fact, that's what happened at first - my early stuff was mostly just interpretations of landscapes.
Lana Del Rey

Music, architecture and pictures have always been my passions, and all that material wealth has meant for me, is being able to have some of the pictures I liked.
Andrew Lloyd Webber
Image
There is something about giving everything to your profession. In Italian, an obsession is not necessarily negative. Its the art of putting all your energy into one thing its the art of transforming even what you eat for lunch into architecture.
Renzo Piano
