A large number of us have developed a feeling that architects tend to design houses for the approval of fellow architects and critics, not for the tenants.

Prince Charles

If in a city we had six vacant lots available to the youngsters of a certain neighborhood for playing ball, it might be "development" to build houses on the first, and the second, and the third, and the fourth, and even the fifth, but when we build houses on the last one, we forget what houses are for.

Aldo Leopold

I believe that architects should design gardens to be used, as much as the houses they build, to develop a sense of beauty and the taste and inclination toward the fine arts and other spiritual values.

Luis Barragan

We each build our own future. We are the architects of our own fortune.

Appius Claudius Caecus

Architects design houses. I live in a home.

Peter Eisenman

I liked the idea of architectural games - you're always building and rebuilding. And I still thought of myself in opposition. I thought, If architects build a dream house, then I want to build a bad-dream house. My piece was called Bad Dream House.

Vito Acconci

Houses are built brick-by-brick. HOMEs are built word-by-word. Houses don't build themselves. So YOU must build your home.

Tara Fela-Durotoye

You do not build your own houses, nor make your own garments, nor bake your own bread, simply because you know that if you were to attempt all these things they would all be more or less ill done.

Felix Adler

Architects and engineers are among the most fortunate of men since they build their own monuments with public consent, public approval and often public money.

John Prebble

Conversion requires a subtler mind. Architects don't like it, architects want to create their own landmark buildings so that people a few years hence will say, 'Oh, that building there is being knocked down, who did that one?'

Jonathan Meades

Oil replacements and then efficiencies in engines and housing and the way we build houses is a very interesting market.

Vinod Khosla

If you are going to build something in the air it is always better to build castles than houses of cards.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

Sympathetic cracks. A term frequently used by architects and surveyors in terms of ageing houses. I know what they mean.

Ted Dexter

It's no longer possible to simply build English country houses out of words, because they've already been so thoroughly described that all the applicable words have been used up, and one is forced to build them instead out of words recycled and scavenged from other descriptions of other country houses.

Lev Grossman

I want to go on to unify the belts at light-welterweight, and buy enough land and build houses for my entire family, and to own a farm myself.

Marcos Maidana

One of the greatest reforms that could be, in these reforming days ... would be to have women architects. The mischief with the houses built to rent is that they are all male contrivances.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
