"But suddenly, you touch my heart, you do me good, I am happy and I say: 'This is beautiful'. That is architecture. Art enters in. -Le Corbusier
"Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep" - Le Corbusier
"When a form creates beauty it becomes functional and therefore fundamental in architecture"
-Oscar Niemeyer
"Architecture, should never be an arrogant transformation of landscape or space. My wish has long been that the buildings I design have somehow always been there. I want them to be necessary, never forced." - Alvaro Siza
Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space. -LMVDR
“The architect should strive continually to simplify; the ensemble of the rooms should then be
carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty.” –Frank Lloyd Wright
"Architecture is the thoughtful making of space" Louis Kahn
"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." -Frank Lloyd Wright
"I like design to be semantically correct, syntactically consistent, and pragmatically understandable.
I like it to be visually powerful, intellectually elegant, and above all timeless" -Massimo Vignelli
If you weren’t an optimist, it would be impossible to be an architect. – Norman Foster
"You can put down a bad book; you can avoid listening to bad music; but you cannot miss the ugly tower block opposite your house." – Renzo Piano
"Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness." - Frank Gehry
"Be happy. Be happy with what you do. Love what you do, love yourself, love happiness and then do whatever you consider the best and it will certainly be okay. That's it. Rationalise what you need to rationalise, systematise whatever you feel is useful to systematize, but also understand that you have this other nature that is crucial to your being and that relates to the world in another way. Be compassionate about yourself. Trust it. Confide in it" - Jorge Mejia Hernandez (TU Delft)
