Quotes or proverbs or sayings or dictum are wisdom that comes with experience and knowledge and realisation. Recently I have been captivated by quotes of all category just like my thoughts on all over hovering over new stuff. Out of the numerous quotes I have come across, I wanted to share 5 architecture quotes that has been more like engraved on my mind.
A room is not a room without natural light
Louis Khan
I believe natural lighting and ventilation is one of the keys for a healthy living space.
Bjarke Ingels
I like the spirit of saying YES to design for the society, community rather than considering a single entity separately.
God is in the details
Mies Van der Rohe
Even though there’s a history of who said it first (an artist) and the origination, this quote is highly accredited to Mies. Indeed, any creative person should work with details for more creativity resulting in improvised design.
Form follows fiction
Bernard Tschumi
Fiction in terms of Tschumi is culture or the idea that comes before function. In my eyes, his fiction is a form of a functional approach. Ole Scheeren adds more reasons to it.
I don’t know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do
Frank Gehry
Seriously, I wish clients who don’t trust their architects better not approach. There’s a lot of frustration I can rant on.
Why don’t you also share the quotes you aspire or like the most in the comments section…? I would love to know.
