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

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

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.

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

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

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

Cameras get in the way of seeing.
