I think architects tend to believe that they can almost do anything, which is a wonderful characteristic, but in some cases you just fall flat.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an architect, you cannot be so arrogant as to say you are 100% sure about what you do.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
You can say I'm not the easiest architect in the world, because I'm always trying to push the limits.
Everything man is doing in architecture is to try to go against nature. Of course we have to understand nature to know how far we have to go against nature. The secret, I think, of the future is not doing too much. All architects have the tendency to do too much.
Architecture is not a profession for the faint-hearted, the weak-willed, or the short-lived.
I think that the point of being an architect is to help raise the experience of everyday living, even a little. Putting a window where people would really like one. Making sure a shaving mirror in a hotel bathroom is at the right angle. Making bureaucratic buildings that are somehow cheerful.
I've met architects before, and they're not living the life we see on TV.
It is no use working with other architects. What can they do? Who does what?
Architects always have a feel for time - the generation they live in - as we do, and they are always striving toward boundless adventure.
I think architects are often at their best when faced with restraints.
