If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.

A pastry usually tastes better if it looks nice. A cream pastry, now that looks nice - in fact, there is nothing I mind as long as it looks nice.

In addressing a task, one almost always has several possible options, sometimes only a few, and they may all be practical and functional. But they lack the aesthetic aspect that raises it to architecture.

I do not feel certain until I have confronted my initial solution with other solutions - although in fact the first solution often proves to be the right one.

With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects - the building is there to be used, and times change.

Almost every time I make a building, some people will condemn it straight to Hell.

The primary factor is proportions.
