A house is a machine for living in.

Light creates ambience and feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure.

Cameras get in the way of seeing.

The city of Chandigarh is planned to human scale. It puts us in touch with the infinite cosmos and nature. It provides us with places and buildings for all human activities by which the citizens can live a full and harmonious life. Here the radiance of nature and heart are within our reach.

The purpose of construction is TO MAKE THINGS HOLD TOGETHER; of architecture TO MOVE US.

Genius is personal, decided by fate, but it expresses itself by means of system. There is no work of art without system.

Architecture is the masterly, correct, and magnificent play of masses brought together in light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light: light and shade reveal these forms.
