Beauty is the harmony of purpose and form.

Human life is a combination of tragedy and comedy. The shapes and designs that surround us are the music accompanying this tragedy and this comedy.

In almost every task involving form, there are dozens, often hundreds of contradictory elements, which need to be forced to work in harmony by man's will. This harmony can be acheived only through art.

We should work for simple, good, undecorated things

Modern architecture does not mean the use of immature new materials; the main thing is to refine materials in a more human direction.

Form must have a content, and that content must be linked with nature.

The ultimate goal of the architect...is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture... should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.
