I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives.
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.
The secret of good architecture is having more than meets the eye.
Architecture is the story of how we see ourselves. It is the architect's job to service everyday life.
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it. Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone.
Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.
There is a lot of bad architecture. What we need more is to look at how our landscape should look in the next decades.
Architecture is invention.
Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people's lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society.
People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming.
