Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.

Buildings should serve people not the other way around.

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

At a certain point I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture.

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.

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.

My buildings don't speak in words but by means of their own spaciousness.

Don't clap too hard - it's a very old building.

No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.

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