A lasting architecture has to have roots.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Architecture should be rooted in the past, and yet be part of our own time and forward looking.
It must be understood that every architecture is bound to its time and manifests itself only in vital tasks and through the materials of its age. It has never been otherwise.
Architecture is always the will of the age conceived as space - nothing else. Until this simple truth is clearly recognized, the struggle over the foundation of a new architecture confident in its aims and powerful in its impact cannot be realized; until then, it is destined to remain a chaos of uncoordinated forces.
Truly great architecture always transcends its stated function, sometimes in unanticipated ways.
Architecture is a living thing. If I want to leave something to the future, it has to be able to change - but retain something of the ethos that we built up over 50 years.
Architecture is invention.
Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.
The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture.
Architecture tends to consume everything else, it has become one's entire life.
Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space. Living, Changing, New. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, only today can be given form. Only such architecture is creative.
