Beautiful buildings are more than scientific. They are true organisms, spiritually conceived; works of art, using the best technology by inspiration rather than the idiosyncrasies of mere taste or any averaging by the committee mind.

The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built.

We do not learn so much by our successes as we learn by failures - our own and others! Especially if we see the failures properly corrected.

Architectural features of true democratic ground-freedom would rise naturally from topography, which means that buildings would all take on the nature and character of the ground on which in endless variety they would stand and be component part.

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
