"Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things." ― Rem Koolhaas Topic(s): Architecture More From Rem Koolhaas "It is not possible to live in this age if you don’t have a sense of many contradictory forces." "Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture." "We say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living."

The architect’s task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise."― Adolf Loos "I quit college. I was studying architecture for about a year."― Barry Mann
