An architect must remember that the people working or living in his building need space - to dream, to be quiet, to find beauty somewhere.

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.

What I learned from architectural drafting is that everything has to have a plan to work. You just can't wing it. I can't get all the materials I need for a house and just start building. Whether it's a career, family, life - you have to plan it out.

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

If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.

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.

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.

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
