THE ADVENTURE OF THE NORWOOD BUILDER
Building Quotes : pic 001032581
I have come to the conviction that once one embarks on a concept for a building, this concept has to be exaggerated and overstated and repeated in every part of its interior so that wherever you are, inside or outside, the building sings with the same message.
Building Quotes : pic 001656717
I am convinced that a good building must be capable of absorbing the traces of human life and taking on a specific richness ... I think of the patina of age on materials, of innumerable small scratches on surfaces, of varnish that has grown dull and brittle, and of edges polished by use.
Building Quotes : pic 001203335
To build you need vision;
to sustain you need strength.
Building Quotes : pic 000258694
Life is rich, always changing, always challenging, and we architects have the task of transmitting into wood, concrete, glass and steel, of transforming human aspirations into habitable and meaningful space.
Building Quotes : pic 000679846
Beautiful buildings are more than scientific. They are true organisms, spiritually conceived; works of art, using the best technology by inspiration rather than the idiosyncrasies of mere taste or any averaging by the committee mind.
Building Quotes : pic 001366548
You can't build a great building on a weak foundation. You must have a solid foundation if you're going to have a strong superstructure.
Building Quotes : pic 000277218
Architecture is not a private affair; even a house must serve a whole family and its friends, and most buildings are used by everybody, people of all walks of life. If a building is to meet the needs of all the people, the architect must look for some common ground of understanding and experience.
Building Quotes : pic 001192055
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Building Quotes : pic 000892152
To me, a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man, he's made it out of his love for space, materials, things like that.
Building Quotes : pic 001139913
Building becomes architecture only when the mind of man consciously takes it and tries with all his resources to make it beautiful, to put concordance, sympathy with nature, and all that into it. Then you have architecture.
Building Quotes : pic 000978740
The purpose of construction is TO MAKE THINGS HOLD TOGETHER; of architecture TO MOVE US.
Building Quotes : pic 000234641
Building is just skilled labor, I suppose. It's a lot of work. I don't mind other people building them, but the way things go together and are made is interesting to me; I like that a lot.
Building Quotes : pic 000799862
New buildings should fit naturally into their surroundings, both architecturally and historically, without denying or prettifying the concerns of our time
Building Quotes : pic 000552373
A modern building should derive its architectural significance solely from the vigour and consequence of its own organic proportions. It must be true to itself, logically transparent, and virginal of lies or trivialities.
Building Quotes : pic 001258412
Architecture is essentially Human; it is the Human spirit manifesting itself. For when a Man builds, there, you've got him; you know exactly what, who and how that Man is.
Building Quotes : pic 000805157
Buildings for me represent opportunities of agency, transformation, and storytelling. They are not just artifacts. There is this big tradition of buildings-as-artifacts - constructed artifacts - but for me they are these incredible sites of negotiation.
Building Quotes : pic 001654210
Architecture begins to matter when it brings delight and sadness and perplexity and awe along with a roof over our heads.
Building Quotes : pic 001435671
What I try to do is the art of building, and the art of building is the art of construction; it is not only about forms and shapes and images.
Building Quotes : pic 001654694
With buildering, I get to keep that element of danger. Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.
Building Quotes : pic 000434666
It is People that make Buildings not Buildings that make people
Building Quotes : pic 000503129
For most Builders, the journey is like shooting for the moon and instead hitting Mars-perhaps a better, but different outcome than envisioned. Builders are the first to admit (at least, in private) that planning works, but as the adage goes, the plan itself, rarely does.
Building Quotes : pic 001322728
Some people build houses, buildings. I don't. I build stories. ~ Ryan Mark, Author
Building Quotes : pic 000026622

Building Quotes : pic 001474709
One of the most persistent yet elusive dreams of the Modern Movement in architecture has been prefabrication: industrially made structures that can be assembled at a building site.
Building Quotes : pic 001612393
We are limited only by our lack of creativity. Our buildings should symbolize the exuberance of a free nation that encourages individual effort and creativity.
Building Quotes : pic 001711386

Building Quotes : pic 000495506
The big question of our time is not Can it be built? but Should it be built? This places us in an unusual historical moment: our future prosperity depends on the quality of our collective imaginations.
Building Quotes : pic 000989906
When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way - before one began.

Building Quotes : pic 001789386
At a certain point, I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture.
Building Quotes : pic 000434656
Buildings have been made because of man.
Building Quotes : pic 000803125
When you design a building, you start from a general philosophy, and you come down, and you start from detail and come up. Only the theoretical architect believes that you can make the concept and then sometime, somebody will come to build it.
Building Quotes : pic 001641670
Those who build are greater than those who tear down.

You know what's better than building things up in your imagination? Building things up in real life.

The reality of the building does not consist of the roof and walls, but the space within to be lived.
Building Quotes : pic 000410148
It is a building designed by committee: all they have been able to agree on is that it should be rectangular, have windows, and not fall over.
Building Quotes : pic 000359871
Doing a house is so much harder than doing a skyscraper.

Building Quotes : pic 001407633
I'm trying to get some building work done at the moment, quite seriously. Be careful.
Building Quotes : pic 000241319

Building Quotes : pic 000396990
I am going to design ... a Station after my own fancy; that is, with engineering roofs, etc.
Building Quotes : pic 001820087

Building Quotes : pic 001117509

When I was handed a hammer, my first project was building a three-story tree house.
Building Quotes : pic 000440105
Nature is an increasingly influential part of building design - we are being guided by trees, rather than overwhelming them. New architecture is finding innovative methods to incorporate natural landscapes into, onto, and around buildings.
Building Quotes : pic 000154098
What are you able to build with your blocks?
Castles and palaces, temples and docks.

But I can be happy and building at home.

It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
Building Quotes : pic 001698571
In order to design buildings with a sensuous connection to life, one must think in a way that goes far beyond form and construction.
Building Quotes : pic 000219899
The reason for this project comes from my childhood, that is clear to me. I did not have any toys. So, I played in the bricks of ruined buildings around me and with which I built houses.
Building Quotes : pic 000179627
A building is no good if someone's got to explain to you why it's good. You can't say you don't know enough about architecture - that's ridiculous. It's got to work on many levels.
Building Quotes : pic 001182548
Architecture is like a mythical fantastic. It has to be experienced. It can't be described. We can draw it up and we can make models of it, but it can only be experienced as a complete whole.
Building Quotes : pic 001380005

We need to make material progress, but we need inner development too ... remember that the real development we seek is not in the buildings but in our hearts and minds.
Building Quotes : pic 001364762
You don't build it for yourself. You know what the people want and you build it for them.
Building Quotes : pic 000920168
An erect building is a shackled slave. I hear the mutinous grumbling of vertical buildings. I hear the grinding frustration of those compelled against their will to remain standing. A building is energy crucified against space and time.
Building Quotes : pic 000274580
Those who don't build must burn.
Building Quotes : pic 000434637
Why are they called buildings when they're already finished? Shouldn't they be called builts?
Building Quotes : pic 000836466

Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.
Building Quotes : pic 001052193

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it anyway.
