The architect must be a prophet... a prophet in the true sense of the term... if he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect.

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet.

Why should architecture or objects of art in the machine age, just because they are made by machines, have to resemble machinery?

The outside of any building may now come inside and the inside go outside, each seems as part of the other. Continuity, plasticity, and all the new simplicity the imply have at last come home.

The two most important tools an architect has are the eraser in the drawing room and the sledge hammer on the construction site.

Science can give us only the tools in the box, these mechanical miracles that it has already given us. But of what use to us are miraculous tools until we have mastered the humane, cultural use of them? We do not want to live in a world where the machine has mastered the man; we want to live in a world where man has mastered the machine.

I believe totally in a Capitalist System, I only wish that someone would try it.
