People buy a chair, and they don't really care who designed it.

The primary factor is proportions.

I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.

If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.

I have no philosophy, my favourite thing is sitting in the studio.

But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago.

If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.
