Architecture belongs to culture, not to civilization.

Architecture is not merely national but clearly has local ties in that it is rooted in the earth.

Even the smallest daily chore can be humanized with the harmony of culture.

The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture.

God created paper for the purpose of drawing architecture on it. Everything else is, at least for me, an abuse of paper.

The ultimate goal of the architect...is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture... should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.
