gptkbp:famous_quote
|
“ I sense a great responsibility in being a part of the world.”
“ A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.”
“ What is the building that we are going to build? It is a building that is going to be a part of the world.”
“ The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building.”
“ Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.”
“ What is the building that we are going to build? It is a place where we can be.”
“ Architecture is the thoughtful making of space.”
“ I sense a great responsibility to the past, to the future, to the present.”
