Architecture
I don't divide architecture, landscape and gardening; to me they are one.
Architecture is particularly difficult for women; there's no reason for it to be. I don't want to blame men or society, but I think it was for a long time, the clients were men, the building industry is all male.
For me, architecture is the means, not the end. It's a means of making different life forms possible.
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.
Architecture is about experience: not only visual but also what you can touch, what you can feel.
I feel however, that we architects have a special duty and mission... (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning.
Technological considerations are of great importance to architecture and cities in the informational society.
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
The Bauhaus strives to bring together all creative effort into one whole, to reunify all the disciplines of practical art — sculpture, painting, handicrafts, and crafts — as inseparable components of a new architecture.
Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins.
I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.
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.
I enjoy art, architecture, museums, churches and temples; anything that gives me insight into the history and soul of the place I'm in. I can also be a beach bum — I like to laze in the shade of a palm tree with a good book or float in a warm sea at sundown.
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
Dubai is a vibrant city: Big cars, big buildings... it reminds me of my home town, Hong Kong. People are always on the move here, and there's a lot going on. There are some wonderful architecture and some not-so-wonderful.
Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
There is a powerful need for symbolism, and that means the architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart.
Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward Heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.
If I was influenced by anything, it was architecture: structure having to do with logic. If you don't do it right, the whole thing is going to cave in. In a certain sense, you can carry that to graphic design. Fortunately, however, nobody is going to die if you do it wrong.
