To sum up the state of architecture in America: ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.

All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.

Architecture is art, nothing else.

[Evolution] doesn't mean God-guided, gradual creation. It means unguided, purposeless change. The Darwinian theory doesn't say that God created slowly. It says that naturalistic evolution is the creator, and so God had nothing to do with it.

The first complete sentence out of my mouth was probably that line about consistency being the hobgoblin of small minds.

Doing a house is so much harder than doing a skyscraper.

When a building is as good as that one, f#*@ the art.
