ALE_Review TOA Famous Architects Dictum

“Architecture is not based on concrete and steel and

the elements of the soil. It’s based on wonder.”

“Our ultimate goal, therefore, was the composite but

inseparable work of art --- the great building --- in

which the old dividing line between monumental and

decorative elements would have disappeared

forever.”

“Architecture isn't just about creating new buildings,

sometimes its about retuning what's already there.”

“Architecture is much more than a profession; It’s a

discipline.”

“Tradition is a challenge to innovation.”

“If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.”

“Architecture is an art when one consciously or

unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the

atmosphere and when this environment produces

well being.”

“The great thing about being an architect is you can

walk into your dreams.”

“Architecture is not a private affair; even a house

must serve a whole family and its friends, and most

buildings are used by everybody, people of all walks

of life. If a building is to meet the needs of all the

people, the architect must look for some common

ground of understanding and experience.”

“Architecture is the design of space, both interior and

exterior. So it’s much more closely related to dance

than it is to painting or sculpture.”
