"Architecture is a slow business, and city planning even slower." ― Richard Rogers Topic(s): Architecture More From Richard Rogers "The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved." "Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know." "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." More In Architecture "It’s my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don’t need as long as you’re able to achieve the same result?"― Helmut Jahn "The kitchen really is the castle itself. This is where we spend our happiest moments and where we find the joy of being a family."― Mario Batali "I’ve always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones."― Joe Elliott
