I just want to make my last demand in reverence to the work of what has been done by architects of the past. what was, has always been. what is, has always been. and what will be, has always been. such is the nature of beginning.
Louis Kahn
Image
I feel however, that we architects have a special duty and mission... (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning
Kenzo Tange

We have everywhere an absence of memory. Architects sometimes talk of building with context and continuity in mind, religious leaders call it tradition, social workers say it's a sense of community, but it is memory we have banished from our cities. We have speed and power, but no place. Travel, but no destination. Convenience, but no ease.
Howard Mansfield

Whatever comes to us in life we create first in our mentality. As the building is a reality in all its details in the architects mind before a stone or brick is laid, so we create mentally everything which later becomes a reality in our achievement.

Avant-garde architects have never been able to depend on the support of the establishment, since the customary patrons of this most conservative and slowly moving art form have historically been resistant to innovation and experiment.

The spy boom has been a beautiful windfall for architects, construction companies, IT specialists, and above all defense contractors, enriching thousands of private companies and dozens of local economies hugging the Capital Beltway.
Rachel Maddow
Image
Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.
Rem Koolhaas
Image
One of the greatest reforms that could be, in these reforming days ... would be to have women architects. The mischief with the houses built to rent is that they are all male contrivances.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Image
The ultimate aim of education is to enable individuals to become the architects of their own education and through that process to continually reinvent themselves.
Elliot W. Eisner

You look at energy use in the U.S. and one-third of it is automotive or our transportation system, one-third of it is manufacturing and one-third of it is buildings. That means architects are responsible for one-third of energy by their designs. So not only is it dire, it's also something that we can do.

Architects are the new comedians.
Simon Doonan

Spatial intelligence is virtually left out of formal education. In kindergarten we give children blocks and sand with which to build. Then we take those things away for the next twelve years of their education and expect kids to be architects and engineers.
Ann Lewin-Benham
Image
But then architects don't build their own houses.
Damien Hirst
Image
Designed by architects with honorable intentions but hands of palsy.
Jimmy Breslin
Image
The most important thing, in order to forge one's own creative personality, is to travel, to see different environments, different cultures. I wanted to try to imagine a new kind of structure in architecture. In general, architects follow fashions. They're neoclassical, postmodern.
Shigeru Ban

This great Mughal Emperor [Akbar] was illiterate he could neither read nor write. However, that had not stopped Akbar from cultivating the acquaintance of the most learned and cultured poets, authors, musicians, and architects of the time - relying solely on his remarkable memory during conversations with them.
Indu Sundaresan

The architects who benefit us most maybe those generous enough to lay aside their claims to genius in order to devote themselves to assembling graceful but predominantly unoriginal boxes. Architecture should have the confidence and the kindness to be a little boring.
Alain de Botton
Image
I have worked with some horrible idiots in my life. You learn the pattern of how architects work and the thing is not to fight it. Just to be very quiet, let them get on with it and let them really mess it up.
Barbara Hulanicki
Image
Most of the wonderful places in the world were not made by architects but by the people.
Christopher Alexander

My younger brother is an architect, my son and his wife are both architects, they work for me, and so I guess I've started a dynasty.
Carol Ross Barney
Image
I guess I can't be a great architect. Great architects have a recognizable style. But if every building I did were the same, it would be pretty boring.
Philip Johnson
Image
The Alessi relationship and the Target one has broadened the role of architects in society and broadened the concept that design belongs to everyone.
Michael Graves
Image
The architects of this wickedness will find no safe harbor in this world. We will chase our enemies to the furthest corners of this Earth. It must be war without quarter, pursuit without rest, victory without qualification
Tom DeLay
Image
Most architects work in ­studios largely divorced from academia, as if ideas, criticism and ­historical ­research were irrelevant.
