Architecture Has The Power To Create Order Out Of Unholy Confusion.

The Long Path From Material Through Function To Creative Work Has Only One Goal: To Create Order Out Of The Desperate Confusion Of Our Time.

Where Can We Find Greater Structural Clarity Than In The Wooden Buildings Of The Old. Where Else Can We Find Such Unity Of Material, Construction And Form?

Never Talk To A Client About Architecture. Talk To Him About His Children. That Is Simply Good Politics. He Will Not Understand What You Have To Say About Architecture Most Of The Time. An Architect Of Ability Should Be Able To Tell A Client What He Wants. Most Of The Time A Client Never Knows What He Wants.

Means Must Be Subsidiary To Ends And To Our Desire For Dignity And Value.
