In architecture, Palladio is the game. It means hard thought all through - if it is labored, it fails.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.
Winning a competition in architecture is a ticket to oblivion. It's just an idea. Ninety-nine per cent never get built.
For me, architecture is the means, not the end. It's a means of making different life forms possible.
Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.
If, early on, you know how things are put together, then you can build. The architect is in charge of making - he is not an artist.
An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.
Architecture has curled up in a ball and it's about itself. It has found itself either as a freakshow, where you're not sure if it's good or bad but at least it's interesting, or at the behest of forces of commerce.
Architecture is the story of how we see ourselves. It is the architect's job to service everyday life.
Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.
