Architecture Begins When You Place Two Bricks

Where Can We Find Greater Structural Clarity Than In The Wooden Buildings Of The Old. Where Else Can We Find Such Unity Of Material, Construction And Form? Here The Wisdom Of Whole Generations Is Stored. What Feelings For Material And What Power Of Expression There Is In These Buildings! What Warmth And Beauty They Have! They Seem To Be Echoes Of Old Songs.

Means Must Be Subsidiary To Ends And To Our Desire For Dignity And Value.

Architecture Is The Real Battleground Of The Spirit.

And Just As We Acquaint Ourselves With Materials, Just As We Must Understand Functions, So We Must Become Familiar With The Psychological And Spiritual Factors Of Our Day. No Cultural Activity Is Possible Otherwise; For We Are Dependent On The Spirit Of Our Time.

Simply By Not Owning Three Medium-sized Castles In Tuscany I Have Saved Enough Money In The Last Forty Years On Insurance Premiums Alone To Buy A Medium-sized Castle In Tuscany.
