A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.
In man, the things which are not measurable are more important than those which are measurable.
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.
Everybody's got the mindset that everything should be measurable.
In other words, each piece of the building must look as though it was designed for that particular building.
It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
When you design a building, you start from a general philosophy, and you come down, and you start from detail and come up. Only the theoretical architect believes that you can make the concept and then sometime, somebody will come to build it.
The architect should strive continually to simplify; the ensemble of the rooms should then be carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty.
Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design.
Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so.
