Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.

My buildings will be my legacy... they will speak for me long after I'm gone.

It does not much matter that an individual loses two or three hundred pounds in buying a bad picture, but it is to be regretted that a nation should lose two or three hundred thousand in raising a ridiculous building.

We used to build temples, and museums are about as close as secular society dares to go in facing up to the idea that a good building can change your life (and a bad one ruin it).

Visual art is a foreign language I'm fluent at, but my native language is language.

Social norms define buildings not Architecture
