"Architecture is a slow business, and city planning even slower." ― Richard Rogers Topic(s): Architecture More From Richard Rogers "My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we – architects – can effect the quality of life of the people." "Architecture is about public space held by buildings." "The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved." More In Architecture "Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important."― Ludwig Wittgenstein "Every one who has a heart, however ignorant of architecture he may be, feels the transcendent beauty and poetry of the mediaeval churches."― Goldwin Smith "No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them, because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical."― Michael Ende
