We create our buildings and then they create us. Likewise, we construct our circle of friends and our communities and then they construct us.

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.

A building should appear to grow easily from its site and be shaped to harmonize with its surroundings if Nature is manifest there.

The measure of a man's culture is the measure of his appreciation. We are ourselves what we appreciate and no more.

Nature is the inspiration for all ornamentation

Less is more only when more is too much.

It is a terrific thing to get a building built that has the qualities of greatness in it.
