3 December 2020 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.
3 December 2020 Thomas Reid The rules of navigation never navigated a ship. The rules of architecture never built a house.
3 December 2020 Philip Warren Anderson I acquired an admiration for Japanese culture, art, and architecture, and learned of the existence of the game of GO, which I still play.
3 December 2020 Robert Smithson Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit continues.
3 December 2020 Le Corbusier Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.
3 December 2020 Minoru Yamasaki So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent, as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.
3 December 2020 George Hickenlooper I think that narrative, fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater, art history, architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema, like cinema verite is film in its purest form.
3 December 2020 Arne Jacobsen I don’t see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.
3 December 2020 Frank Lloyd Wright Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.

3 December 2020 Henry David Thoreau They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.
3 December 2020 Ben Nicholson If you’re into architecture and you’re from the West, everything is hors d’oeuvres for working to rebuild the Temple. Ultimately you’re led there. You can’t escape it.
3 December 2020 Martin Puryear At a certain point, I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture.
3 December 2020 Trey Parker I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell – but then I can never bring myself to sell them.
3 December 2020 Catherine Deneuve I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting, something connected to the fine arts.
3 December 2020 Parker Stevenson My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.
3 December 2020 Federico Garcia Lorca The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish.
3 December 2020 Thom Mayne You might say that when you step inside, you’re entering a honorific space, but that’s something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
