Beauty is the harmony of purpose and form.
Architecture belongs to culture, not to civilization.
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.
Objects are made to be completed by the human mind.
Form must have a content, and that content must be linked with nature.
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.
