"Make big plans; aim high


in hope and work, remembering

that a noble, logical diagram
once recorded will not die"


"Make no little plans; they have

no magic to stir men's blood"


: Philippines


Function influence but does


not dictate form














Beauty grows from


necessity not from

repetition of formulas.

Architectural-form equals

social-form

Architecture should speak


of its time and place, but
yearn for timelessness.

Youve got to bumble

forward into the unknown.

"Form follows function-


that has been

misunderstood. Form and


function should be one,
joined in a spiritual union"

"Every great architect is-

necessarily - a great poet.


He must be a great original

interpreter of his time, his


day, his age"

"A Doctor can bury his


mistakes, but an Architect

can only advise his client to


plant vines."

Every little girl needed a

balcony to be serenaded

An idea is salvation by
imagination.

:
The things always

happens that you really


believe in; and the belief in
a thing makes it happen

In a house, you should get


a surprise every time you
turn a corner and look up

"The house is a machine for


living in"

Cube within a cube


"You employ stone, wood &

concrete, and with these


materials you build houses

and palaces; That is


construction. "Ingenuity is

at work".

But suddenly you touch my


heart, you do be good, I am

: happy and I say: This is

beautiful; That is
Architecture. "Arts enters
in."

Architects everywhere
have recognized the needs
of...a tool which may be
put in the hands of creator
of forms, with the simple
aim...of making the bad
difficult and the good easy

Architecture is a brilliant,
orthodox and original jigsaw
puzzles of masses combined in
light. Our eyes are created to see
forms in light; lights and shadow
reveal the forms. Cubes cones,
balls, cylinder and pyramid are
primary shapes that lights so
excellently reveal; the picture
they give to us is clear and
perspicuous without indecision.
That is why they are beautiful
forms.

Architecture is the masterly,


correct and magnificent play of
masses brought together n light.
Our eyes are made to see forms
in light; light and shade reveal
this forms.

"Less is a bore"

we borrow from nature the

space upon which we built


I would like my architecture to

inspire people to use their own


resources, to move into the

future

You cannot simply put something


into place. You have to absorb what
you see around you, what is use in

the land and then use that

knowledge along with contemporary


: thinking to interpret what you see.

I do not believe architecture

should speak too much. It should


remain silent and let nature in

the guise of sunlight and wind

I like the ruins because what

remains is not a total design, but


the clarity of thought, the baked

structure, the spirit of the thing.

my hand is the extension of the


thinking process-the creative

process

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.

I believe that the way people

live can be directed a little by


architecture

If you give people nothingness,

they can ponder what can be


achieved from that nothingness.

The speed of change makes you


wonder what will become of

architecture.

You cant really say what is

beautiful about a place, but the

image of the place will remain


vividly with you

There is a role and function for

beauty in our time.


There are 360 degrees,

why stick to one

"never forgetting the real

needs of users"
