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

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

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

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

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

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; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders or pyramids are the great primary forms which light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible within us without ambiguity. It is for this reason that these are beautiful forms, the most beautiful forms. Everybody is agreed to that, the child, the savage and the metaphysician.

The city that has speed has success.
