Where can we find greater structural clarity than in the wooden buildings of the old. Where else can we find such unity of material, construction and form? Here the wisdom of whole generations is stored. What feelings for material and what power of expression there is in these buildings! What warmth and beauty they have! They seem to be echoes of old songs.

Architecture has the power to create order out of unholy confusion.

Less is more.

Architecture is a language. When you are very good, you can be a poet

The individual is losing significance; his destiny is no longer what interests us.

Each material is only what we make it.

Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins.
