More From Helmut Jahn
- "A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive."
- "You don’t know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don’t talk to you. There’s very little interaction."
- "The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity, especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples, no ambitions."

- "Winning a competition in architecture is a ticket to oblivion. It’s just an idea. Ninety-nine per cent never get built."― Daniel Libeskind
- "Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture."― Tadao Ando
