There is still a real need for good quality architecture, not paper architecture, but the real stuff.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To make architecture with any real value is a massive challenge.
The problem of architecture has always been the same throughout time. Its authentic quality is reached through its proportions, and the proportions cost nothing. In fact, most of them are proportions among things, not the things themselves. Art is almost always a question of proportions.
Architecture is art, nothing else.
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.
There is a lot of bad architecture. What we need more is to look at how our landscape should look in the next decades.
The secret of good architecture is having more than meets the eye.
The difference between good and bad architecture is the time you spend on it.
As much as we may want to withdraw into a world of pure problem solving, we have to acknowledge that the most successful architectures are the ones you can actually convince someone to implement.
It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?
No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.
