"The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture." ― Tadao Ando Topic(s): Architecture More From Tadao Ando "I hope that America as a whole, and especially its architects, will become more seriously involved in producing a new architectural culture that would bring the nation to the apex – where it has stood before – and lead the world." "But now, more and more, its society is concerned with economy and finance." "People tend not to use this word beauty because it’s not intellectual – but there has to be an overlap between beauty and intellect." More In Architecture "People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that’s both liberating and alarming."― Rem Koolhaas "An architect’s most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board, and a wrecking bar at the site."― Frank Lloyd Wright "When I was a little kid, I wrote this play about all these characters living in a haunted house. There was a witch who lived there, and a mummy. When they were all hassling him, this guy who bought the house – I can’t believe I remember this – he said to them, ‘Who’s paying the mortgage on this haunted house?’ I thought that was really funny."― Mindy Kaling
