More From Arthur Erickson
- "After 1980, you never heard reference to space again. Surface, the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism, became the focus of design. Space disappeared."
- "I plead for conservation of human culture, which is much more fragile than nature herself. We needn’t destroy other cultures with the force of our own."
- "The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line."

- "To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there’s no such thing as perfect."― Alexander Calder
- "In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to another."― Voltaire
