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

Negro music has touched America because it is the melody of the soul joined with the rhythm of the machine. It is in two part time; tears in the heart; movement of the legs, torso arms and head. The music of the era of construction; innovating. It floods the body and heart; it floods the USA and its floods the world. The jazz is more advanced than the architecture. If architecture were at the point reached by jazz, it would be an incredible spectacle.

The present moment is creative, creating with an unheard-of intensity.

The history of architecture is the history of the struggle for light.

We must kill the street. We shall truly enter into modern town planning only after we have accepted this preliminary determination.

A house is a machine for living in.

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