When I was young and used to look at Chinese architecture, there was no clear definition between what was landscaping and what was architecture.

Ma Yansong

There is no ecological architecture, no intelligent architecture and no sustainable architecture - there is only good architecture. There are always problems we must not neglect. For example, energy, resources, costs, social aspects - one must always pay attention to all these.

Eduardo Souto de Moura

The most enjoyable things are the old eighteenth-century terraces that are still standing, that domestic architecture.

Ken Loach

I've always been interested in an architecture of resistance - architecture that has some power over the way we live. Working under adversarial conditions could be seen as a plus because you're offering alternatives. Still, there are situations that make you ask the questions: 'Do I want to be a part of this?'

Thom Mayne

It don't matter what you tried to do, you couldn't destroy me! I'm still standing! I'm still strong! And I always will be.

Antwone Fisher

Architecture is by definition a very collaborative process.

Joshua Prince-Ramus

Don't you know I”m still standing better than I ever did. Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid. I'm still standing after all this time.

Elton John

My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture

Parker Stevenson

My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.

There is still a real need for good quality architecture, not paper architecture, but the real stuff.

Peter Zumthor

Architecture is a hazardous mixture of omnipotence and impotence. It is by definition a c h a o t i c a d v e n t u r e... In other words, the utopian enterprise.

Rem Koolhaas

Great architecture of the past was always clear. SFMOMA is still a simple building to understand.

Mario Botta

When we come to understand architecture as the essential nature of all harmonious structure we will see that it is the architecture of music that inspired Bach and Beethoven, the architecture of painting that is inspiring Picasso as it inspired Velasquez, that it is the architecture of life itself that is the inspiration of the great poets and philosophers.

Frank Lloyd Wright

It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it. Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.

Frank Gehry

Being naive simply means that we reject received wisdom that something is a problem. We are always naive relative to some definition of the situation, and if we try to become less so, we may accept a definition that confines the definition of small wins to narrower issues than is necessary.

Karl E. Weick

When we talk of architecture, people usually think of something static; this is wrong. What we are thinking of is an architecture similar to the dynamic and musical architecture achieved by the Futurist musician Pratella. Architecture is found in the movement of colours, of smoke from a chimney and in metallic structures, when they are expressed in states of mind which are violent and chaotic.
