After I finished school, I went to JJ College of Architecture and then to Harvard. I did my B.A. with a major in filmmaking.
Anand Mahindra
a perfect piece of architecture kindles that aimless reverie, which bears the soul we know not whither.
Madame de Stael
The thing about architecture is that it's an art [you] simply learn more by doing more. It's one of those things that is really not an art about thinking, but doing. So in a way, what it has done is greatly intensify the way that I build.
David Adjaye
You have to lead, in the case of a game show, a contestant through the architecture of the show. So there's a lot of rules there, literal and implied, that you have to navigate.
Michael Ian Black
I do believe architecture, and all art, should be content-driven. It should have something to say beyond the sensational.
Charles Jencks
Human intelligence discovered a way of perpetuating itself, one not only more durable and more resistant than architecture, but also simpler and easier. Architecture was dethroned. The stone letters of Orpheus gave way to the lead letters of Gutenburg. The book will kill the edifice.
Victor Hugo
For me, the excitement in architecture revolves around the idea and the phenomenon of the experience of that idea. Residences offer almost immediate gratification. You can shape space, light, and materials to a degree that you sometimes can't in larger projects.
Steven Holl

I viewed the station as a place, a terrain where I could put a new architecture in place. The station was, of course, an historic monument, but it does not deserve all the respect given it when it is said it is perfect, original and coherent expression of a past that we must revere. Orsay is basically a box.
Gae Aulenti
For me, architecture is a social act.
David Adjaye

In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.
Michael Graves
When we talk of architecture, people usually think of something static; this is wrong. What we are thinking of is an architecture similar to the dynamic and musical architecture achieved by the Futurist musician Pratella. Architecture is found in the movement of colours, of smoke from a chimney and in metallic structures, when they are expressed in states of mind which are violent and chaotic.
Carlo Carra
It’s time for architecture to do things again, not just represent things.
Joshua Prince-Ramus
Architecture is by definition a very collaborative process.
Joshua Prince-Ramus
As a viewer, that's work I respond to - work that I know is singular in some way. If I'm being challenged by something on screen, if I don't quite know why it's happening, I want to know I can do the work of pulling it apart and that there'll be something satisfactory about it. If the architecture is sound, you can be lyrical in execution.
