"It is not with architecture that one can disseminate any political ideology." ― Oscar Niemeyer Topic(s): Architecture More From Oscar Niemeyer "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." "Architecture is my work, and I’ve spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings." "Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant." More In Architecture "Art is very tricky because it’s what you do for yourself. It’s much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture."― Maya Lin "I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting, something connected to the fine arts."― Catherine Deneuve "I quit college. I was studying architecture for about a year."― Barry Mann
