Architecture

Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture. Rem Koolhaas Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book. Victor Hugo Architecture in general is frozen music. Friedrich von Schelling

Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Leonardo da Vinci I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. Leonardo da Vinci I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen Frank Lloyd Wright The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. Michelangelo Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art Leonardo da Vinci Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake? Leonardo da Vinci The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding. Leonardo da Vinci While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die. Leonardo da Vinci The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves. Leonardo da Vinci Learning never exhausts the mind Leonardo da Vinci The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art. Leonardo da Vinci

We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us. ~ Winston Churchill

I call architecture petrified music.

~ Goethe

The purpose of a structure is to meet our needs, the purpose of architecture is to thrill us.

~ Brent Thompson
