The architect must be a prophet... a prophet in the true sense of the term... if he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect.

No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.
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.
A true architect is not an artist but an optimistic realist. They take a diverse number of stakeholders, extract needs, concerns, and dreams, then create a beautiful yet tangible solution that is loved by the users and the community at large. We create vessels in which life happens.
As an architect, you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown.
Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.
An architect should live as little in cities as a painter. Send him to our hills, and let him study there what nature understands by a buttress, and what by a dome.
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.
Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.
If architects weren't arrogant, they wouldn't be architects. I don't know a modest good architect.
Who is the architect? I am the architect.
