Constantin Brancusi
Romanian - Sculptor
February 19, 1876 - March 16, 1957

For me, architecture is an art the same as painting is an art or sculpture is an art. Yet, architecture moves a step beyond painting and sculpture because it is more than using materials. Architecture responds to functional outputs and environmental factors. Yet, fundamentally, it is important for me to stress the art in architecture to bring harmony.

Santiago Calatrava

I'd been to Stourhead and was inspired by the perfect parity between architecture and art; in fact, the architecture is the art. I wrote a piece called 'Not Sculpture Park,' because most of these things become car parks for bought-in sculpture. The artists should be working with the site, not just plonking pieces down.

Charles Jencks

I have tried to get close to the frontier between architecture and sculpture and to understand architecture as an art.

Santiago Calatrava

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

Robert Smithson

There is one way that architecture is superior to sculpture, and that is scale. You can walk into a building and have it all around you.

Santiago Calatrava

This building is like a book. Its architecture is the binding, its text is in the glass and sculpture.

Malcolm Miller

I really don't have a theme when I start a sculpture. The rock guides me to the final sculpture. I think that is true for many creative sculpture artists.

Jimmy Carl Black

By the unification of architecture, sculpture and painting a new plastic reality will be created.

Piet Mondrian

First of all I think of puppets as sculpture. They are sculpture that moves. You could label it any way you want, but for me it always starts in my mind as a sculpture.

Wayne White

Architecture, sculpture, painting, music, and poetry, may truly be called the efflorescence of civilised life.

Herbert Spencer

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

Walter Gropius

In Giacometti's work, the armature has once again become the life-line of the sculpture, and also, he's brought back to sculpture a nervous sensitivity which the 'pure carving' side of sculpture can lose sight of altogether.

Henry Moore

A sad spectacle. If they be inhabited, what a scope for misery and folly. If they be not inhabited, what a waste of space.

Thomas Carlyle

The fine arts are five in number, namely: painting, sculpture, poetry, music, and architecture, the principal branch of the latter being pastry.

Marie-Antoine Careme

There are only four great arts: music, painting, sculpture, and ornamental pastry- architecture being perhaps the least banal derivative of the latter.

Julia Child

The world of sculpture precedes by many years the world of architecture.
