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.

To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.

Our world, like a charnel-house, is strewn with the detritus of dead epochs.

My research is like my feeling directed towards what is the principal value in the life, the poetry.

Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.

Architects everywhere have recognized the need of ... a tool which may be put in the hands of creators of form, with the simple aim ... of making the bad difficult and the good easy.

By law, all buildings should be white.
