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

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

I love design. That's my favorite part about flipping houses and that's what I'm good at so to be able to go outside the box and not just design houses that are flips.

Christina Anstead

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.

Michael Ende

Architects design buildings; that's what we do, so we have to go with the flow; and, even though I'm still an old Leftie, global capitalism does have its good side. It's broken down barriers - the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union - it's raised a lot of people up economically, and for architects, it has meant that we can work around the world.

Richard Rogers

I think architects design outside in. Or they design basically outside. They don't get in the building anymore.

Marcel Wanders

My guilty pleasure is I like to watch a lot of HGTV. I really like watching design shows about houses, like extreme homes. Like buying a bridge and turning it into a house or something like that. I really am interested in home design or something like that... architecture.

Taylor Schilling

But then architects don't build their own houses.

Damien Hirst

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

Ted Dexter

We don't want to be a design line. Ultimately, we want to be a platform that houses many design aesthetics.

Alexa Hirschfeld

It is new design by architects versus world revolution by political leadership.

R. Buckminster Fuller

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

We experience every space in five senses, so it's strange that architects design just for the eyes.

Julian Treasure

hey. I just wanted to make sure you got home," I say. "Katniss, I live three houses away from you," he says.

Suzanne Collins

Good design is long-lasting 8. Good design is thorough, down to the last detail 9. Good design is environmentally friendly 10. Good design is as little design as possible

Dieter Rams

I was first drawn to active wear because I enjoy working out, and it's very important in this day in age. I really felt women were getting the tail end of the design in active wear; not getting the technology or design we deserved. It was reserved for men. We were getting the leftover work from the sports design houses.

Stella McCartney
