six Archi Sayings,
"Life is very fleeting. It’s important to be gentle and
optimistic. We look behind and think what we’ve done in this life has
been good. It was simple; it was modest. Everyone creates their own
story and moves on. That’s it. I don’t feel particularly important. What
we create is not important. We’re very insignificant."
- Oscar Niemeyer
"When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
- R.Buckminster Fuller
"A great building, in my opinion, must begin with the
unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed
and in the end must be unmeasurable.”
- Louis Kahn
"Architecture has always been as much about the event that takes place in a space as about the space itself."
- Bernard Tschumi
"Never talk to a client about architecture...He will not understand what you have to say about architecture most of the time."
- Mies van der Rohe
"A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart."
- Frank Lloyd Wright
