All architects want to live beyond their deaths.
All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.
Architects are pretty much high-class whores. We can turn down projects the way they can turn down some clients, but we've both got to say yes to someone if we want to stay in business.
Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
I hate vacations. If you can build buildings, why sit on the beach... (more Philip Johnson quotes)
