It is essential to an architect to know how to see: I mean to see in such a way that the vision is not overpowered by rational analysis.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Once you learn to look at architecture not merely as an art more or less well or more or less badly done, but as a social manifestation, the critical eye becomes clairvoyant.
One has to view things realistically.
I think it's important to have perspective and to look at what you don't necessarily want to see.
The secret of good architecture is having more than meets the eye.
Most architects think in drawings, or did think in drawings; today, they think on the computer monitor. I always tried to think three dimensionally. The interior eye of the brain should be not flat but three dimensional so that everything is an object in space. We are not living in a two-dimensional world.
Rationalism is the enemy of art, though necessary as a basis for architecture.
The best vision is insight.
Definition, rationality, and structure are ways of seeing, but they become prisons when they blank out other ways of seeing.
Without vision you don't see, and without practicality the bills don't get paid.
I write my books in my head, and not in a specific study with a view. The view is from my inner eyes.
