I think architects are often at their best when faced with restraints.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
You can say I'm not the easiest architect in the world, because I'm always trying to push the limits.
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?
I always think of buildings in their settings, but so do other architects.
In Europe, architects consider themselves artists. They think they're special when they win a competition.
Architects feel empowered to give opinions about politics and sociology and philosophy without knowing much about it. Kind of in the same way that they think they can design furniture or fashion or utensils for dining.
There are so many constraints on the architect that public buildings almost never feel free or enjoyable.
Architects always have a feel for time - the generation they live in - as we do, and they are always striving toward boundless adventure.
If architects weren't arrogant, they wouldn't be architects. I don't know a modest good architect.
