As a student, I hadn't really been interested in architecture at all, but when I started teaching, it grew into me - rather than me growing into it.

Polish - Architect

With the author

My interest was always to do interdisciplinary work with space. I thought of architecture as one strand in a multimedia practice.

Elizabeth Diller

We conventionally divide space into private and public realms, and we know these legal distinctions very well because we've become experts at protecting our private property and private space. But we're less attuned to the nuances of the public.

Elizabeth Diller

Theatre is real-time - you get that real-time audience reaction, which is fantastic. And with art pieces, people don't ever have to explain themselves. You can do something and really follow a research. With architecture, you have to be much more public. You have to build consensus. You have to work within the law. There are more complexities.

Elizabeth Diller

Aside from keeping the rain out and producing some usable space, architecture is nothing but a special-effects machine that delights and disturbs the senses.

Elizabeth Diller

We're always taught that we're building for permanence, but why? I like the idea of a prosthetic architecture! When a section is removed, the building readjusts its weight distribution, like a living body.

Elizabeth Diller

In art school, it was about feeling. In architecture school, it was about ideas.

Elizabeth Diller

I was a rebel. I never wanted to build. We thought of architecture as intellectually bankrupt and slightly corrupt, and I was always more interested in other forms of discourse.

Elizabeth Diller

Architecture has been male-dominated forever, and I am a grateful beneficiary of the women's movement.

Same category

There's a snobbery at work in architecture. The subject is too often treated as a fine art, delicately wrapped in mumbo-jumbo. In reality, it's an all-embracing discipline taking in science, art, maths, engineering, climate, nature, politics, economics.

Norman Foster

I'm really into architecture, I'm a member of the Brutalist Appreciation Society; I'm a member of the Postmodern Society. I write letters to save buildings.

Roisin Murphy

In general, Tor architecture is not suited for protecting anonymity of long-term, popular web services.

Alex Biryukov

Amsterdam is such a fun, cool place, and it's very Instagrammable with the canals and the boats and the flowers and the architecture. It's amazing for outfit of the day shots.

NikkieTutorials

I have a background in technology, design, architecture, arts and sciences. I see myself as a multi-dimensional person.

Pranav Mistry

The greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government.

Milton Friedman

I started off in journalism 16 years ago in Stockholm, and I wrote for a few different publications for many years. I've also worked in advertising as a copywriter and creative director, but I changed it for architecture at 25 years old.

Magnus Larsson

Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space. Living, Changing, New. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, only today can be given form. Only such architecture is creative.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
