I've always thought that design can have equal importance to the idea of internal architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic - you do the architecture, someone else does the interiors, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. But I think design is all-encompassing.

Quotes by Zaha Hadid

I really love Miami, but I don't think the architecture matches the city. It's a bit too commercial.

Quotes by Zaha Hadid

Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.

Quotes by Zaha Hadid

I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.

Quotes by Zaha Hadid

Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.

Quotes by Yoshio Taniguchi

I was studying architecture at Berkeley when my father passed away in 2007. We knew he had cancer, but we didn't expect it to escalate so rapidly. In my mind, it was like, 'He'll pull through.' When he didn't, I didn't understand. I was 21, and my best friend had died.

Quotes by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

All real education is the architecture of the soul.

Quotes by William Bennett

You look at the steamboat, the railroad, the car, the airplane - not all of these were invented in the Anglo-American world, but they were popularized and extended by it. They were made possible by the financial architecture, the capital intensive operations invented and developed by the Anglo-Americans.

Quotes by Walter Russell Mead

Let us together create the new building of the future, which will be everything in one form: architecture and sculpture and painting.

Quotes by Walter Gropius

Architecture begins where engineering ends.

Quotes by Walter Gropius

The general public, formerly profoundly indifferent to everything to do with building, has been shaken out of its torpor; personal interest in architecture as something that concerns every one of us in our daily lives has been very widely aroused; and the broad line of its future development are already clearly discernible.

Quotes by Walter Gropius

The development of the New Architecture encountered serious obstacles at a very early stage of its development. Conflicting theories and the dogmas enunciated in architects' personal manifestos all helped to confuse the main issue.

Quotes by Walter Gropius

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.

Quotes by Walter Gropius

Good architecture should be a projection of life itself, and that implies an intimate knowledge of biological, social, technical, and artistic problems.

Quotes by Walter Gropius

Architecture is a science arising out of many other sciences, and adorned with much and varied learning; by the help of which a judgment is formed of those works which are the result of other arts.

Quotes by Vitruvius

Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.

Quotes by Vitruvius

I would like to use architecture to create bonds between people who live in cities, and even use it to recover the communities that used to exist in every single city.

Quotes by Toyo Ito

Architects have made architecture too complex. We need to simplify it and use a language that everyone can understand.

Quotes by Toyo Ito

We have to base architecture on the environment.

Quotes by Toyo Ito

We think of enterprise architecture as the process we use for fully describing and mapping business functionality and business requirements and relating them to information systems requirements.

Quotes by Tony Scott

When I left the work world, I started designing my dream house. I dived into architecture and bought seven vacant lots. My plan was to build one house, move in, and build the next. If the next was better, I'd move in and sell the previous one - so on and so forth.

Quotes by Tom Anderson

I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.

Quotes by Tim Gunn

The rules of navigation never navigated a ship. The rules of architecture never built a house.

Quotes by Thomas Reid

I have a strong sense that every project is an invention, which is not a word I hear being used in architecture courses.

Quotes by Thomas Heatherwick

To make architecture with any real value is a massive challenge.

Quotes by Thomas Heatherwick

Historically, in the world of architecture, enormous amounts of care and energy have been lavished on things that are almost a cliched idea of culture.

Quotes by Thomas Heatherwick

The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.

Quotes by Thomas a Kempis

My guilty pleasure is I like to watch a lot of HGTV. I really like watching design shows about houses, like extreme homes. Like buying a bridge and turning it into a house or something like that. I really am interested in home design or something like that... architecture.

Quotes by Taylor Schilling

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.

Quotes by Tadao Ando

I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.

Quotes by Tadao Ando

Japanese traditional architecture is created based on these conditions. This is the reason you have a very high degree of connection between the outside and inside in architecture.

Quotes by Tadao Ando

The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.

Quotes by Tadao Ando

All the revision in the world will not save a bad first draft: for the architecture of the thing comes, or fails to come, in the first conception, and revision only affects the detail and ornament, alas!

Quotes by T. E. Lawrence

I mean, certainly writing, painting, photography, dance, architecture, there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.

Quotes by Sydney Pollack

As a mature and responsible nation, one of India's foreign policy interests is to evolve a regional architecture based on the twin principles of shared security and shared prosperity.

Quotes by Sushma Swaraj

I think architecture, to be really intense and fulfilling, doesn't have to be large.

Quotes by Steven Holl

Frank Lloyd Wright made houses right up until the end. I think that's important because it gives you a direct connection to all the basic aspects of architecture - the spatial energy of the place, the construction, the materials, the site, the detail.

Quotes by Steven Holl

Princeton University's campus environment presents unique challenges and opportunities for architecture to act as a social condenser.

Quotes by Steven Holl

Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.

Steve Martin

Quotes by Stephen Sprouse

What people want, above all, is order.

Quotes by Stephen Gardiner

Victorian architecture in the United States was copied straight from England.

Quotes by Stephen Gardiner

The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.

Quotes by Stephen Gardiner

Quotes by Stephen Gardiner

The Egyptian contribution to architecture was more concerned with remembering the dead than the living.

Quotes by Stephen Gardiner

Of all the lessons most relevant to architecture today, Japanese flexibility is the greatest.

Quotes by Stephen Gardiner

Quotes by Stephen Gardiner

Georgian architecture respected the scale of both the individual and the community.

Quotes by Stephen Gardiner

French architecture always manages to combine the most magnificent underlying themes of architecture; like Roman design, it looks to the community.

Quotes by Stephen Gardiner

Downtown Toronto is a very good place to talk about the neutrality of modernist architecture. I'm sure this kind of box-building was interesting in the Twenties, Thirties and Forties, but I think it's absolutely ridiculous to build like this in 2013.

Quotes by Stefan Sagmeister

Besides numerous science courses, I had the opportunity to study philosophy, the history of architecture, economics, and Russian history in courses taught by extraordinarily knowledgeable professors.

Quotes by Stanley B. Prusiner

I love Sutton House in Clapton, a beautiful example of Tudor architecture.

Quotes by Sharon Horgan

As a viewer, that's work I respond to - work that I know is singular in some way. If I'm being challenged by something on screen, if I don't quite know why it's happening, I want to know I can do the work of pulling it apart and that there'll be something satisfactory about it. If the architecture is sound, you can be lyrical in execution.

Quotes by Shane Carruth

I have a thing for clean lines and beautiful form that I attribute to my four years in Tokyo and Kyoto. I also appreciate traditional architecture and a warm palette that I think my Midwest upbringing has something to do with.

Quotes by Scott Foley

The frightening thought that what you draw may become a building makes for reasoned lines.

Quotes by Saul Steinberg

Living in Edinburgh, I consider myself particularly lucky - we have the biggest book festival in the world, a plethora of fascinating libraries and museums, and some of the greatest architecture in Europe.

Quotes by Sara Sheridan

I am an engineer, not just an architect, so I've always been motivated by technique or technology. As soon as technology moves just a little bit, it changes architecture.

Quotes by Santiago Calatrava

My private work is touched by this destiny of understanding that architecture and engineering have a social character and can serve the community.

Quotes by Santiago Calatrava

The bones of my architecture are very much related to the structure, to the physical fact of how a building can stand up; it's also related to geometry and a certain understanding of the architecture in which there is a balance between expression and function.

Quotes by Santiago Calatrava

I became a fanatic of the architecture of Le Corbusier and I visited almost all his buildings and read all his books. Only later on did I discover that all the things that impressed me in his books, particular his ideology, he had picked up from Auguste Perret.

Quotes by Santiago Calatrava

Because of the nature of the profession of architecture, the art of architecture nourishes itself from other disciplines.

Quotes by Santiago Calatrava

When I was in architecture school, I became curious about the exact mathematics, physics, and construction of the great structures I had been studying. I wanted to know how these amazing things would work: the Pantheon, the dome of Michelangelo, the dome of Brunelleschi. So I decided to study civil engineering.

Quotes by Santiago Calatrava

Aesthetically, London is just beautiful; it's a gorgeous city. The architecture, monuments, the parks, the small streets - it's an incredible place to be.

Quotes by Sara Bareilles

The principle of the Gothic architecture is infinity made imaginable.

Quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Every man's work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.

Quotes by Samuel Butler

Every song, the title dictates the architecture of the song.

Quotes by Sammy Cahn

The terrifying and edible beauty of Art Nouveau architecture.

Quotes by Salvador Dali

I wanted a real profession. And I'd always been interested in architecture and in design and in, really, what makes things work. And understanding what's kind of behind the walls and why things stand up and some things don't.

Quotes by S. J. Rozan

To me... San Francisco is an ideal city, intellectually stimulating and naturally beautiful. The oceans and forests are close enough to refresh the spirit; the architecture is always exciting.

Quotes by Ruth Bernhard

New Orleans is unlike any city in America. Its cultural diversity is woven into the food, the music, the architecture - even the local superstitions. It's a sensory experience on all levels and there's a story lurking around every corner.

Quotes by Ruta Sepetys

The bungalow had more to do with how Americans live today than any other building that has gone remotely by the name of architecture in our history.

Quotes by Russell Lynes

I'm involved in everything from highly progressive lighting systems to airline interiors. In the field of transportation I can go from the micro to the macro: architecture, transportation, industrial product design, right across the board. It's Russian dollism, because they all interrelate: one goes into the other.

Quotes by Ross Lovegrove

I started collecting aerial photographs of Native American and South Pacific architecture; only the African ones were fractal. And if you think about it, all these different societies have different geometric design themes that they use. So Native Americans use a combination of circular symmetry and fourfold symmetry.

Quotes by Ron Eglash

My assumption was that all indigenous architecture would be more fractal. My reasoning was that all indigenous architecture tends to be organized from the bottom up. As it turns out, though, my reasoning was wrong.

Quotes by Ron Eglash

When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganized and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn't even discovered yet.

Quotes by Ron Eglash

When I'm in London, Claridge's is a great favourite. I'm a big fan of art deco architecture and the rooms are extraordinary.

Quotes by Roman Coppola

I could have been an architect, but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see.

Quotes by Roger Waters

I initially thought I would be an architect, maybe. So I went to architecture camp and quickly learned that I did not want to be an architect. I was like, 'No. This is not for me.'

Quotes by Robin Lord Taylor

The first thing you must know as an actor or director is the space you will inhabit. See the architecture; imagine where things can happen in space.

Quotes by Robert Wilson

Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit continues.

Quotes by Robert Smithson

Trying to describe something musical is like dancing to architecture, it's really difficult.

Quotes by Robert Palmer

The dialogue between client and architect is about as intimate as any conversation you can have, because when you're talking about building a house, you're talking about dreams.

Quotes by Robert A. M. Stern

We don't believe we've solved the multicore-programming problem. But we think we've built an environment in which a certain class of problems can take advantage of the multicore architecture.

Quotes by Rob Pike

Prediction is structurally inseparable from the business of punditry: It creates the essential image of indefatigable authority that is punditry's very architecture; it flows from that calcified image, and it provides the substance for the story that keeps getting told about the inevitability of American progress.

Quotes by Rick Perlstein

Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times.

Quotes by Richard Rogers

Architecture is about public space held by buildings.

Quotes by Richard Rogers

Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know.

Quotes by Richard Rogers

Architecture is a slow business, and city planning even slower.

Quotes by Richard Rogers

Architecture is a living thing. If I want to leave something to the future, it has to be able to change - but retain something of the ethos that we built up over 50 years.

Quotes by Richard Rogers

Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future.

Quotes by Richard Rogers

My architecture tends to be legible, light and flexible. You can read it. You look at a building, and you can see how it is constructed. I put the structure outside.

Quotes by Richard Rogers

Architecture is always political.

Quotes by Richard Rogers

An important work of architecture will create polemics.

Quotes by Richard Meier

Rome has not seen a modern building in more than half a century. It is a city frozen in time.

Quotes by Richard Meier

Any work of architecture that has with it some discussion, some polemic, I think is good. It shows that people are interested, people are involved.

Quotes by Richard Meier

In architecture you should live for 150 years, because you have to learn in the first 75 years.

Quotes by Renzo Piano

Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.

Quotes by Rem Koolhaas

Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.

Quotes by Rem Koolhaas

Escape from the architecture ghetto is one of the major drivers and has been from the very beginning.

Quotes by Rem Koolhaas

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.

Quotes by Rem Koolhaas

The intellectual force of the West is still dominant, but other cultures are getting stronger. I expect that we will develop a new way of thinking in architecture and urban planning, and that less will be based on our models.
