Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.
A house is a machine for living in.
I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.
Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.
A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe and 50 times: It is a beautiful catastrophe.
To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
The home should be the treasure chest of living.
