It is not with architecture that one can disseminate any political ideology.

I think architecture is rarely the product of a single ideology. It's more like it can be shaped by a really big idea. It can accommodate a lot of life forms.

Architects have made architecture too complex. We need to simplify it and use a language that everyone can understand.

The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.

A lasting architecture has to have roots.

Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.

To make architecture with any real value is a massive challenge.

Everything man is doing in architecture is to try to go against nature. Of course we have to understand nature to know how far we have to go against nature. The secret, I think, of the future is not doing too much. All architects have the tendency to do too much.

Architecture is art, nothing else.

Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.
