"I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away." ― Helmut Jahn Topic(s): Architecture More From Helmut Jahn "It’s my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don’t need as long as you’re able to achieve the same result?" "The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture." "A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive." More In Architecture "Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination."― Ludwig Wittgenstein "Architecture will always express the technical and social progress of the country in which it is carried out. If we wish to give it the human content that it lacks, we must participate in the political struggle."― Oscar Niemeyer "Every man’s work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself."― Samuel Beckett
