American - Architect
June 8, 1867 - April 9, 1959

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.

Carlo Carra

I loathe when architects only analyze architecture in intellectual, nonvisual ways. I really love direct response, and that's very pop. I don't want to discuss abstract transparencies with a bunch of kooks.

Peter Marino

Some architects think of clients only as sources of work and income but most good architecture is in fact the result of successful design collaboration between a talented architect and an enlightened, motivated client.

Roger K. Lewis

Through training, practice, and a deep sense of optimism, architects see opportunities where others only see a void. This has been the driving principle behind Architecture for Humanity since our founding.

Cameron Sinclair

Sustainability has become a religion in architecture - not that there's anything wrong with it - but I think it has to work both ways. Everyone thinks architecture has to be subservient to sustainability, but what if we thought in the other direction, like, what can sustainability do to make architecture more exciting?

Vito Acconci

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

I think of architecture as language, and I look within the intra-communication between architects.

Jimenez Lai

I love architecture, but I learned early on that architects just don't make a lot of money.

Shahid Khan

The most important thing, in order to forge one's own creative personality, is to travel, to see different environments, different cultures. I wanted to try to imagine a new kind of structure in architecture. In general, architects follow fashions. They're neoclassical, postmodern.

Shigeru Ban

Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.

Zaha Hadid

Landscape architecture is basically geodesign; it's designing geography. And yet geodesign is not only done by landscape architects, it's done by some of the world's largest corporations.

Jack Dangermond

We have no sociology of architecture. Architects are unaccustomed to social analysis and mistrust it; sociologists have fatter fish to fry.

Denise Scott Brown

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

Toyo Ito

I feel however, that we architects have a special duty and mission... (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning

Kenzo Tange

I feel however, that we architects have a special duty and mission... (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning.

Kenzo Tange

I don't know any architects that I respect who don't have their own voice. I think the difference between architecture and the other arts is your immersion in reality.
