Architects Quotes

Architects, if they are really to be comprehensive, must assume the enormous task of thinking in terms always disciplined to the scale of the total world pattern of needs, its resource flows, its recirculatory and regenerative processes. R. Buckminster Fuller
Bryant H. McGill quote: "Architects of grandeur are often the master builders of..."
Architects of grandeur are often the master builders of disillusionment. Bryant H. McGill
Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition. John Portman
Ambrose Bierce quote: "Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a..."
Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money. Ambrose Bierce
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
There is an effective strategy open to architects. Whereas doctors deal with the interior organisms of man, architects deal with the exterior organisms of man. Architects might join with one another to carry on their work in laboratories as do doctors in anticipatory medicine. R. Buckminster Fuller
The architect represents neither a Dionysian nor an Apollinian condition: here it is the mighty act of will, the will which moves mountains, the intoxication of the strong will, which demands artistic expression. The most powerful men have always inspired the architects; the architect has always been influenced by power. Friedrich Nietzsche
Unfortunately, we are not painters and authors, where we can do something in isolation. We require a lot of money to create what we create. It's almost like being an architect: You can't be an architect and build whatever buildings you want to. Jon Favreau
Wherefore the mere practical architect is not able to assign sufficient reasons for the forms he adopts; and the theoretic architect also fails, grasping the shadow instead of the substance. Marcus V. Pollio
The architect must be a prophet... a prophet in the true sense of the term... if he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect. Frank Lloyd Wright
The architect, Peter Arens who is the monstrous carbuncle architect, not merely did his design which had won a public competition never get built but his practice suffered financially for some years. Anthony Holden
Jeff Rich quote: "Who is the architect? I am the architect."
Who is the architect? I am the architect. Jeff Rich
The self-commissioned architect is the obviously exclusive potential - for as at present used, or designed, the world's resources are serving only forty-four per cent of humanity. R. Buckminster Fuller
They became desperate for an antidote, such as coziness & color. They tried to bury the obligatory white sofas under Thai-silk throw pillows of every rebellious, iridescent shade of Magenta, pink, and tropical green imaginable. But the architect returned, as he always does, like the conscience of a Calvinist, and he lectured them and hectored them and chucked the shimmering little sweet things out. Tom Wolfe
No matter what your profession? doctor, lawyer, architect, accountant? if you are an American, you better be good at the touchy-feely service stuff, because anything that can be digitized can be outsourced to either the smartest or the cheapest producer. Thomas Friedman
