A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe and 50 times: It is a beautiful catastrophe.

Belgrade is the ugliest city in the world in the most beautiful place in the world.

Modern life demands, and is waiting for, a new kind of plan, both for the house and the city.

To be modern is not a fashion, it is a state. It is necessary to understand history, and he who understands history knows how to find continuity between that which was, that which is, and that which will be.

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.

I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.

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.
