Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
Julia Morgan

Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.
Yoshio Taniguchi

Architecture is inhabited sculpture.
Constantin Brancusi

Architecture is involved with the world, but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work, like any art.
Thom Mayne

Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that's all.
Harry Seidler

Architecture is politics.
Mitchell Kapor

Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
Philip Johnson

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

Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.
Louis Kahn

Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
Frank Gehry

Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Architecture tends to consume everything else, it has become one's entire life.
Arne Jacobsen

Architecture theory is very interesting.
David Byrne

Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul.
Ernest Dimnet

Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
Maya Lin

At this present time, matter is still the best way to think of architecture, but I'm not so sure for very long. The computer is radicalizing the way we think about our world.
Ben Nicholson

Bridges are perhaps the most invisible form of public architecture.
Bruce Jackson

But after the time there I'd had it with fashion again, so I left to go to architecture school in a summer course at Harvard, which didn't last very long.
Stephen Sprouse

But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.
Thom Mayne
