Architecture Quotes
-
It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.
Oscar Niemeyer

You are a victim of your own neural architecture which doesn't permit you to imagine anything outside of three dimensions. Even two dimensions. People know they can't visualise four or five dimensions, but they think they can close their eyes and see two dimensions. But they can't.
Leonard Susskind

Architecture and fashion are partners.

I used to worship the mighty genius of Michael Angelo - that man who was great in poetry, painting, sculpture, architecture - great in every thing he undertook.

Mark Twain

-
It's not so much about form versus functionality. Rather, it's about doing both and doing them a lot and doing them well-and that's how we should be talking about architecture.
Joshua Prince-Ramus
-
