3 December 2020 Charles Eames In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
3 December 2020 Michael Graves The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.
3 December 2020 Harry von Zell As a designer, the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost.
3 December 2020 Arne Jacobsen Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks, from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns.
