“I don't know of any architects who want to do bad buildings.”
Terry Williams
“Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as ''salon art.'' Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.”
Walter Gropius
“[Pastor Caldwell emphasizes the human scale of the buildings, and has asked the lead project architects, Morris Architects, to create a welcoming, approachable campus with intimate gathering spaces.] We want everyone who enters the KBC to celebrate life together whether they are learning new job skills, attending a play, riding on the carousel or studying for school, ... The building and proposed programs and services have been planned carefully to connect families and people to each other in healthy ways.”
Kirbyjon Caldwell
“The architects wanted the building to have certain qualities of the natural landscape that are constantly changing. In different lights, for example, the skin has different qualities. It changes with the sunlight. It changes with the fog.”
Deborah Frieden
“The architects brought in renderings of the building, and these are very rough renderings, of a multi-story building, ... Basically, today we gave the architect the go-ahead to proceed further with the program, and develop things further down the schematic design process.”
Michael Donovan
“That tower's an extremely important building, ... It's not just a high-rise in any town done by any architect, but it's a very specific tower ... which mirrors the aspirations of the sky of New York.”
Daniel Libeskind
“All architects want to live beyond their deaths.”
Philip Johnson
