- I've always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones.
- Joe Elliott on Architecture
- I've never owned an Apple product. I like the fact that PCs are open architecture and not locked down like Apple products. I feel that Macs are also unjustifiably overpriced.
- Oren Peli on Architecture
- If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
- Arne Jacobsen on Architecture
- If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.
- Arne Jacobsen on Architecture
- If architecture is frozen music then music must be liquid architecture.
- Quincy Jones on Architecture
- If architecture is, as is sometimes said, music set in concrete, then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports.
- Michael Mandelbaum on Architecture
- If I have a style, I am not aware of it.
- Michael Graves on Architecture
- If you examine this, I think that you will find that it's the mechanics of Japanese architecture that have been thought of as the direct influence upon our architecture.
- Minoru Yamasaki on Architecture
- If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.
- Tadao Ando on Architecture
- If you're into architecture and you're from the West, everything is hors d'oeuvres for working to rebuild the Temple. Ultimately you're led there. You can't escape it.
- Ben Nicholson on Architecture
- In addressing a task, one almost always has several possible options, sometimes only a few, and they may all be practical and functional. But they lack the aesthetic aspect that raises it to architecture.
- Arne Jacobsen on Architecture
- In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.
- Michael Graves on Architecture
- In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
- Charles Eames on Architecture
- In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.
- Maya Lin on Architecture
- In fact, it will be very easy to climb the building because of its shape and architecture.
- Alain Robert on Architecture
- In Los Angeles, by the time you're 35, you're older than most of the buildings.
- Delia Ephron on Architecture
- In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction, I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture, and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer, and make money... and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up, but I wasn't very good at it.
- Adam Carolla on Architecture
- In my experience, if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg, it's modern architecture.
- Nancy Banks Smith on Architecture
- Information and inspiration are everywhere... history, art, architecture, everything an illustrator needs. Europe is, after all, the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.
- John Howe on Architecture
- It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled.
- John Ruskin on Architecture
- It is not the beauty of a building you should look at its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
- David Allan Coe on Architecture
- It is not with architecture that one can disseminate any political ideology.
- Oscar Niemeyer on Architecture
- It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.
- John Ruskin on Architecture
- It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.
- Oscar Niemeyer on Architecture
- It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?
- Helmut Jahn on Architecture
- Italy is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings, and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture.
- Tadao Ando on Architecture
