1. The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization. (Frank Lloyd Wright)
2. Architecture is a very dangerous job. If a writer makes a bad book, eh, people don’t read it. But if you make bad architecture, you impose ugliness on a place for a hundred years. (Renzo Piano)
3. Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness. (Frank Gehry)
4. I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future. (Tadao Ando)
5. The long path from material through function to creative work has only one goal: to create order out of the desperate confusion of our time. (Ludwig Mies van der Rohe)
