PABLO ANTONIO "buildings should be planned

with austerity in mind and its stability forever

as the aim of true architecture, that buildings
must be progressive, simple in design but
dignified, true to a purpose without resorting
to an applied set of aesthetics and should
eternally recreate truth"

FRANCISCO BOBBY MANOSA I design Filipino.

Architecture must be true to itself, its land,
and
its
people.
Three
factors
make
architecture truly Filipino, Filipino values,
Philippine climate and the use of indigenous
materials

PHILIP JOHNSON All architects want to live

beyond their deaths.

PHILIP JOHNSON Architecture is the art of how

to waste space

KENZO TANGE The city must be subject to

growth, decay and renewal.

KENZO TANGE Architects today tend to

depreciate themselves, to regard themselves
as no more than just ordinary citizens without
the power to reform the future.

KENZO TANGE Modern architecture need not

to be Western

OSCAR NIEMEYER "Form follows beauty."

OSCAR NIEMEYER . Architecture will always

express the technical and social progress of
the country in which it is carried out. If we
wish to give it the human content that it
lacks, we must participate in the political
struggle.

FRANK GEHRY Look, architecture has a lot of

places to hide behind, a lot of excuses, The
client made me do this. The city made me do
this. Oh, the budget. I don't believe that
anymore.
FRANK GEHRY Architecture should speak of its
time and place, but yearn for timelessness

ROBERT VENTURI Forms accommodates

function.

ROBERT VENTURI Less is bore.

ROBERT VENTURI Unity disguised as chaoscomplexity and contradiction are often what
make works of art both exciting and profound

TADAO ANDO I would like my architecture to

inspire people to use their own resources, to
move into the future.

TADAO ANDO Without this spirit, Modernist

architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is
often a mismatch between the logic and the
spirit of Modernism, I use architecture to
reconcile the two.

RENZO PIANO architects spend an entire life

with this unreasonable idea that you can fight
against gravity.

JEAN NOUVEL Each new situation requires a

new architecture.

JEAN NOUVEL I think architecture has to be a

gift.

ALVAR AALTO Nothing is as dangerous in

architecture as dealing with separated
problems. If we split life into separated
problem we split the possibilities to make
good building art.

ADOLF LOOS Does it follow that the house has

nothing in common with art and is
architecture not to be included in the arts?
Only a very small part of architecture belongs
to art: the tomb and the monument.
Everything else that fulfills a function is to be
excluded from the domain of art

ADOLF LOOS Ornament is a crime and all

ornamentation must be rejected

ADOLF LOOS Supply and demand regulate

architecture form

ANTONIO GAUDI Form does not necessarily

follow function.

ANTONIO GAUDI Those who look for The laws

of nature as a support for their new works
collaborate with the Creator.

AUGUSTE PERRET "Truth is indispensible to

Architecture & architectural lie concepts."

BENJAMIN H. LATROBE "A bldg. is the

combination of different geometric figures."

BUCKMINSTER FULLER "We called architects

of the future not its victims"

BUCKMINSTER FULLER "Starting with holes"

BUCKMINSTER FULLER Doing more with

less.

EDUARDO SOUTO DE MOURA Drawing

architecture is a schizoid act: it involves
reducing the world into a piece of paper.

EERO SAARINEN Function influence but does

not dictate form

ELIEL SAARINEN Architecture - form equals

social-form

ELIEL
SAARINEN
"Beauty
grows
from
necessity not from repetition of formulas."

ERICH MENDELSOHN "Architecture seizes

upon space, encompasses space and is space
itself."

ERICH MENDELSOHN "Architecture depends

on the sensuous seizure by means of touch
and sight."
DANIEL BURNHAM Make no little plans; they
have no magic to stir mens blood.

DANIEL BURNHAM Make big plans; aim high in

hope and hope and work, remembering that a
noble, logical diagram once recorded will not
die.


FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT Every great architect is
necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great
original interpreter of his time, his day, his
age.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT Architecture is Organic.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT The longer I live the

more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly
ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself
without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if
you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all
the day of your life.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT Think simples as my

old master used to say - meaning reduce the
whole of its parts into the simplest terms,
getting back to first principles.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT An idea is salvation by

imagination.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT "Form follows functionthat has been misunderstood. Form and
function should be one, joined in a spiritual
union"

JOHN RUSKIN It seems a fantastic paradox,

but it is nevertheless a most important truth,
that no architecture can be truly noble which
is not imperfect.

JOHN RUSKIN It is impossible, as impossible as

to raise the dead, to restore anything that has
ever been great or beautiful in architecture.
That which I have insisted upon as the life of
the whole, that spirit which is given only by
the hand and eye of the workman, can never
be recalled.
BENJAMIN
LATROBE

combination of different geometric figures.

LE CORBUSIER The house ia a machine for

living in.

LE CORBUSIER Architecture or Revolution

LE CORBUSIER the exterior of the building is

the result of the interior.

LOUIS KAHN Architecture is the reaching out

for the truth

LOUIS KAHN Every time a student walks past

and really urgent, expressive piece of
architecture that belongs to his college, it can
help reassure him that he does have that
mind, does have that soul.

LOUIS KAHN "A house is a house."

LOUIS SULLIVAN Forms follows function

LOUIS SULLIVAN Our architecture reflects

truly as a mirror.

LOUIS SULLIVAN "The architect who combines

in his being the powers of vision, of
imagination, of intellect, of sympathy with
human need and the power to interpret them
in a language vernacular and time--- is he who
shall create poems in stone."

LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE Less is more.

LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE Architecture is

the will of an epoch translated into space

LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE God is in the

details.

LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE It is better to be

good than to be original.
LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE Less is more,
almost
LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE "Architecture
starts when you carefully put two bricks
together. There it begins"

LUCIO COSTA I am neither a capitalist nor a

socialist, I am not a religious or an atheist.

wishes to see

MARCEL LAJOS BREUER Architecture is a

social art."

MARCUS VITRUVIUS POLIO Architecture must

meet 3 requirements: Strength, Beauty, and
Utilities

MARCUS VITRUVIUS POLIO Architecture is a

science arising out of many other sciences,
and adorned with much and varied learning;
by the help of which a judgment is formed of
those works which are the result of other arts.

PIER LUIGI NERVI Structural

correctness,
which is identical with functional, technical
& economic is a necessary & sufficient
condition of satisfactory aesthetic result.
