I am an architect, first.

Who knows, maybe I am simply a talented architect?

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.

Architecture is the story of how we see ourselves. It is the architect's job to service everyday life.

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.

Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.

I don't build because I am an architect. I can make true architecture because I do not build.

The ultimate goal of the architect...is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture... should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.

The Architect is just one of a series of works which examine the confrontation of innocence and experience, illustrating the complex ethics of power that exist between reader and writer, critic and artist, the human and the divine.

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.
