Kutipan (Quote) - Architecture (3)

We should concentrate our work not only to a separated housing problem but housing involved in our daily work and all the other functions of the city.
Alvar Aalto

I hate vacations. If you can build buildings, why sit on the beach?
Philip Johnson

Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that's all.
Harry Seidler

Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.
Louis Kahn

Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.
Antonio Gaudi

If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.
Tadao Ando

Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.
Yoshio Taniguchi

Thom Mayne

The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.
Adolf Loos

Harry Seidler

Don't clap too hard - it's a very old building.
John Osborne

Julia Morgan

The bungalow had more to do with how Americans live today than any other building that has gone remotely by the name of architecture in our history.
Russell Lynes

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.
Donna Karan

It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
David Allan Coe

No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them, because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical.
Michael Ende
