Style
is trendy and fleeting…Bad taste is timeless…Ignorance transcends
architecture.
James Gaskin
No
one should drive a hard bargain with an artist.
Ludwig Van Beethoven
Alas for education. Education does not help.
You can read all the books in the world and make terrible designs. Harvard
will never
help you become an architect.
Philip Johnson
(On where ideas come from) Why, I just shake the buildings out of my sleeves
Frank Lloyd Wright
No person who is not a great artist can be an architect.
If he is not an artist, he can only be a builder.
John Ruskin
An architect's most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board,
and a wrecking bar at the site
Frank Lloyd Wright
No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.
John Ruskin
The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect
can only advise his clients to plant vines.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Architecture is "frozen music"… really there is something in
this; The tone of mind
produced by architecture approaches the effect of music.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Architect: one who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your
money.
Ambrose Bierce
Form follows function, that has been misunderstood. Form and function
should be one, joined in a spiritual union
Frank Lloyd Wright
When does a building actually become a built?
Le Corbusier
True ornament is not a matter of prettifying exteriors. It is at its best
an emphasis of
structure, A realization in graceful terms of the nature of that which
is ornamented
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 ignoble architecture.
Frank Lloyd Wright
