A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.
G. K. ChestertonArchitecture - 2

Frank Lloyd WrightArchitecture - 3
Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts.

Heredity is a strong factor, even in architecture. Necessity first mothered invention. Now invention has little ones of her own, and they look just like grandma.
E. B. WhiteArchitecture - 11
Le Corbusier was the sort of relentlessly rational intellectual that only France loves wholeheartedly, the logician who flies higher and higher in ever-decreasing circles until, with one last, utterly inevitable induction, he disappears up his own fundamental aperture and emerges in the fourth dimension as a needle-thin umber bird.
Thomas WolfeArchitecture - 12

The most powerful men have always inspired the architects; the architect has always been influenced by power.

All very well perhaps from his point of view, but only a little better than the common dilettantism.
Henry David ThoreauArchitecture - 22
We may live without her, and worship without her, but we cannot remember without her. How cold is all history, how lifeless all imagery, compared to that which the living nation writes, and the uncorrupted marble bears!
John RuskinArchitecture - 23
