Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.

Architecture is not a profession for the faint-hearted, the weak-willed, or the short-lived.

It is not with architecture that one can disseminate any political ideology.

Architecture is art, nothing else.

Architecture must not do violence to space or its neighbors.

Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It's about making the world a better place, and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it.

I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.

Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that's all.

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

Architecture belongs to culture, not to civilization.
