10 QUOTES WITH «ARCHITECTURE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word architecture.
1
Joseph Altuzarra
In architecture and interiors, as well as fashion, there is an interaction that is both functional and aesthetic.
2
Tadao Ando
When you look at Japanese traditional architecture, you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious, close contact with nature - this very unique to Japan.
3
Nate Berkus
You don't need to spend a lot of money on stuff when you have amazing architecture.
4
Marco Brambilla
I think in America there's this free flow between fashion, art, architecture, music and design. In Europe, it's more segregated between those different disciplines, I think.
5
Marcus Brigstocke
I've spent a lot of very happy times in Edinburgh as a result of playing virtually every festival since 1996. It's also a beautiful city in its own right, is walkable, within sight of the sea and mountains - and was too far north for the Luftwaffe to have done any damage, hence the spectacularly beautiful architecture.
6
David Chipperfield
Seeing architecture differently from the way you see the rest of life is a bit weird. I believe one should be consistent in all that one does, from the books you read to the way you bring up your children. Everything you do is connected.
7
David Chipperfield
Britain loves a bargain, but you don't get good, lasting architecture on the cheap.
8
David Chipperfield
I like to be surrounded by books. My wife Evelyn has a Ph.D. in comparative literature, so we have a lot of her Spanish and German literature books which are wasted on me, plus a lot of novels and books on art and architecture shared by us both. Evelyn used to edit an art magazine called 'FMR,' so we have a common interest in design.
9
Kenneth Clark
Opera, next to Gothic architecture, is one of the strangest inventions of Western man. It could not have been foreseen by any logical process.
10
Nick Clegg
The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture, and the language that we use about politics, it's completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties.
