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

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

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.

That business of relaxation, which is so terribly modern today, is all good and well, but my work interests me so much, and is so varied, that many times it seems relaxing when I go from one aspect to another.

Clearly, if a building is not functionally and technically in order, then it isn't architecture either, it's just a building.

None of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago.

Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks, from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns.
