"It is not with architecture that one can disseminate any political ideology." ― Oscar Niemeyer Topic(s): Architecture More From Oscar Niemeyer "There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space." "My work is not about ‘form follows function,’ but ‘form follows beauty’ or, even better, ‘form follows feminine.’" "For me beauty is valued more than anything – the beauty that is manifest in a curved line or in an act of creativity." More In Architecture "Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity."― Frank Lloyd Wright "Architecture doesn’t come from theory. You don’t think your way through a building."― Arthur Erickson "Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture."― Ernest Hemingway
