All Architecture Is Shelter, All Great Architecture

I Like To Be Buttoned Onto Tradition. The Thing Is To Improve It, Twist It And Mold It; To Make Something New Of It; Not To Deny It. The Riches Of History Can Be Plucked At Any Point.

The Practice Of Architecture Is The Most Delightful Of All Pursuits. Also, Next To Agriculture, It Is The Most Necessary To Man. One Must Eat, One Must Have Shelter. Next To Religious Worship Itself, It Is The Spiritual Handmaiden Of Our Deepest Convictions.

Architecture Is Art, Nothing Else.

I Call Myself A Traditionalist, Although I Have Fought Against Tradition All My Life.

I Guess I Can't Be A Great Architect. Great Architects Have A Recognizable Style. But If Every Building I Did Were The Same, It Would Be Pretty Boring.
