And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.

Modern buildings of our time are so huge that one must group them. Often the space between these buildings is as important as the buildings themselves.

The space within becomes the reality of the building.

If you look at the Earth without architecture, it's sometimes a little bit unpleasant. So there is this basic human need to do shelter in the broadest sense of the word, whether it's a movie theater or a simple log cabin in the mountains. This is the core of architecture: To provide a space for human beings.

Architecture is undistinguished, sometimes derelict, but occasionally, as in 'Post and Beam,' there is something arresting in a setting... the building behind the Cathedral.

I love buildings that aren't purpose-built.

Some people may get in to the building without the proper passes and things, but I think that's the price you pay for being an open place for people to come.

There is no sadder tale in the annals of architecture than the virtual disappearance of the defining architectural form of the Modern Movement - publicly sponsored housing.

I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.

Buildings are 'humane' only when they promote peaceful human co-existence.
