I've met architects before, and they're not living the life we see on TV.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Architects always have a feel for time - the generation they live in - as we do, and they are always striving toward boundless adventure.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
It is no use working with other architects. What can they do? Who does what?
Some architects, such as John Lautner, never really did anything other than houses. His entire portfolio is basically residential. There's nothing wrong with that.
Architects today tend to depreciate themselves, to regard themselves as no more than just ordinary citizens without the power to reform the future.
If architects weren't arrogant, they wouldn't be architects. I don't know a modest good architect.
All clients think that they are architects.
In Europe, architects consider themselves artists. They think they're special when they win a competition.
I'm suspicious of the idea of architects acting like business executives, brand managers, or purveyors of luxury goods.
I come from a long line of architects. I'm the only one who did not become an architect, but I've been around the drawing aspect and construction my whole life.
