Architects have to dream. We have to search for our Atlantises, to be explorers, adventurers, and yet to build responsibly and well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Architects always have a feel for time - the generation they live in - as we do, and they are always striving toward boundless adventure.
I feel however, that we architects have a special duty and mission... (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning.
A true architect is not an artist but an optimistic realist. They take a diverse number of stakeholders, extract needs, concerns, and dreams, then create a beautiful yet tangible solution that is loved by the users and the community at large. We create vessels in which life happens.
Maybe, just maybe, we shall at last come to care for the most important, most challenging, surely the most satisfying of all architectural creations: building cities for people to live in.
The ultimate goal of the architect...is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture... should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.
Architecture is the story of how we see ourselves. It is the architect's job to service everyday life.
I've met architects before, and they're not living the life we see on TV.
All experience is an arch, to build upon.
An architect must remember that the people working or living in his building need space - to dream, to be quiet, to find beauty somewhere.
Architects have made architecture too complex. We need to simplify it and use a language that everyone can understand.
