architecture art business call given people product rises
Architecture is a service business. An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
architecture art ask houses people tract whether
There are a lot of questions about whether architecture is art. The people who ask that think pretty tract houses are architecture. But that doesn't hold up.
saint architecture finest
The back of Saint Peter's is one of the finest pieces of architecture I've ever seen.
thinking people architecture
That's why you go into architecture - at least I did - to do things for people. I think most of us are idealists. You start out that way, anyway.
architecture sometimes
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
art children architecture
Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
people architecture arguing
That's what you have to find in architecture. You have to find your signature. When you find it, you're the only expert on it. People can say they like it or don't like it. They can argue about it, but it's yours.
war architecture environment
Anybody I talk to agrees that maybe 2 percent of the building environment since the war, we could call architecture.
chicago architecture visible
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
moving men architecture
I attended a lecture by a gray-haired old man from Finland, who later I discovered was the architect Alvar Aalto. I was very moved. I wasn't interested in architecture, but it was a moving thing I've never forgotten.
ego stuff architecture
You see a lot of so-called architecture that part of the ego trip overpowers the functionality and the budget and all that stuff.
artist architecture
In the Renaissance there wasn't a distinction. Bernini was an artist and he made architecture, and Michelangelo also did some great architecture.
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.
