Architects Quotes
Architects don’t invent anything; they transform reality.
Alvaro Siza Vieira
There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons.
Edwin Lutyens
Ten years after Dayton, that these two primary architects of these appalling crimes should still be free is a failure on all sides.
Paddy Ashdown
Faced with unmeasurables, people steer their way by magic. Before the invention of navigational instruments, a beautiful lady was carved on the prow of the boat to help sailors cross the ocean; and architects, grappling with the intangibles of design, select a guru whose work gives them personal help in areas where there are few rules to follow. The guru, as architectural father-figure, is subject to intense hate and love; either way, the relationship is personal, and necessarily one-to-one.
Denise Scott Brown

The ultimate aim of education is to enable individuals to become the architects of their own education and through that process to continually reinvent themselves.
Elliot W. Eisner
For me, architects and film directors operate similarly. They are practical. As an architect, you know what you want in the conception of a space - but you still need a lot of people to help you out. You need an engineer, interior architects. But a film is the same - you have all these elements. But in terms of concept, it's always about time. When you approach a building, you need time to go from point A to B. Buildings are designed as a journey and films are the same, you have an opening that you come through, an angle you follow, maybe a disruption in space.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul

Curtis W. Fentress
Some architects, such as John Lautner, never really did anything other than houses. His entire portfolio is basically residential. There's nothing wrong with that.
Steven Holl
I am fighting this. I want to get better, I want to work again. I do believe we are architects of our destinies, but with me somewhere along the line something came loose.
Emily Lloyd
When the materials are all prepared and ready, the architects shall appear.
Walt Whitman
