Architecture belongs to culture, not to civilization.

We have almost a city has probably two or three hundred committees. Every committee is dealing with just one problem and has nothing to do with the other problems.

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.

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.

True architecture exists only where man stands in the center.

Nothing old is ever reborn, but neither does it totally disappear. And that which has once been [born], will always reappear in a new form.

Our time is so specialised that we have people who know more and more or less and less.
