cities use architecture
The idealism [in architecture] is in the formal arrangement, the relationship to the city, the use of materials that are available to me. That's where I say our powers are limited.
architecture building
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
art people schedules
An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
men somewhere-else architecture
Man, there's another freedom out there, and it comes from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is the place I'm interested in.
pie interaction greater
The whole can be greater than the sum of it's parts, that we all have something to put in the pie to make it better, and that the collaborative interaction works.
people
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
being-yourself self-esteem messages
The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It's not about copying me or my logic systems. It's about allowing yourself to be yourself.
ideas collaboration
I like the idea of collaboration - it pushes you. It's a richer experience...
mother father kids
When I was a kid, my father didn't really have much hope for me. He thought I was a dreamer; he didn't think I would amount to anything. My mother also.
accepting inevitable
Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable.
life success famous-inspirational
You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.
games play feelings
The game is if the orchestra can hear each other, they play better. If they play better and there's a tangible feeling between the orchestra and the audience, if they feel each other, the audience responds and the orchestra feels it.
being-yourself example messages
The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself.
hate i-hate architect
The thing is, I hate the celebrity architect thing. I just do my work.
