Consider the momentous event in architecture when the wall parted and the column became.
From Louis Kahn
You say to a brick, 'What do you want, brick?' And brick says to you, 'I like an arch.' And you say to brick, 'Look, I want one, too, but arches are expensive and I can use a concrete lintel.' And then you say: 'What do you think of that, brick?' Brick says: 'I like an arch.'
The first thing that an architect must do is to sense that every building you build is a world of its own, and that this world of its own serves an institution.
Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.
A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.
Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.
Every building must have... its own soul.
What does a house want to be?
Architecture is the thoughtful making of space.
A room is not a room without natural light.
