Paving Quotes : pic 000119214
If the sculptor uses stone and if the road builder also uses stone, the first uses it in a way that it is not used, consumed, negated by usage, but affirmed, revealed in its obscurity, as a road that leads only to itself.
Paving Quotes : pic 000172906
Be sure to lay wide streets planted with shady trees, every other of a quick-growing variety. Be sure that there is plenty of space for lawns and gardens, reserved large areas for football, hockey and parks. Earmark areas for Hindu temples, Mohammedan mosques and Christian churches.

Backing and filling, appearing and disappearing,
I tread day and night such roads.
Paving Quotes : pic 001091752

Paving Quotes : pic 001618458

Paving Quotes : pic 000154098

pavement artist - you
Paving Quotes : pic 000578860

where laborers feed their dirty
glistening torsos sandwiches
and Coca-Cola, with yellow helmets
on. They protect them from falling
bricks, I guess.

Paving Quotes : pic 000541618
Out in this profane city,
sometimes sidewalks
seem the only cement that connects us,
pressed by the sacred strangers
we will never touch.

I remember, as a young architect, people always talked about I. M. Pei's concrete. He had a particular specification no one else knew.
Paving Quotes : pic 000435166
I actually do my own renovations. I designed and built a 100-foot split-cedar rail fence to enclose my property. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Don't recommend doing it alone. I also built a 100-square-foot back porch. Again, don't recommend doing it alone.

I like building.

Paving Quotes : pic 001430935
A rapid rendering of a landscape represents only one moment of its existence. I prefer, by insisting upon its essential character, to risk losing charm in order to gain greater stability.
Paving Quotes : pic 001307604
And besides; the problem of land, at its worst, is a bye one; distribute the earth as you will, the principal question remains inexorable, Who is to dig it? Which of us, in brief word, is to do the hard and dirty work for the rest, and for what pay?
Paving Quotes : pic 000346461
I only laid the cobbles for the streets of Bordertown; it took all of us, an entire community, to bring the city to life. And that's as it should be. Community, friendship, art: stirred together, they make a powerful magic. Used wisely, it can save your life. I know that it saved mine.
Paving Quotes : pic 000793681
The peoples of the old world have their cities built for times gone by, when railroads and gunpowder were unknown. We can have cities for the new age that has come, adopted to its better conditions of use and ornament. We want, therefore, a city planning profession ...

Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?
tightrope - stone roses
Paving Quotes : pic 001609021

Paving Quotes : pic 001109625
Tile is going to the landfill by the metric ton. All we have to do it gather it up, glue it down to the floor and grout it. Then you have a tile floor, and not just any tile floor: it's a mosaic of your own choosing.
Paving Quotes : pic 000541589

Building is a sweet impoverishing.
Paving Quotes : pic 000180063

Paving Quotes : pic 000809397
Veins of ivy scale stones,
find footholds but
the caretaker cuts
earth short, peels
creepers from Cotswold
rock and props the dead
head to head so they won't
topple like drunks
on their moss-soft shadows.
