"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.”

“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

spirit of the thing.”
“my hand is the extension of the

“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.”
