I love architecture, I love buildings, I love history, buildings

I love architecture, I love buildings, I love history, buildings that have got a story to tell, and we can save the building along the way by turning it into a house. For me, as an architect, there's nothing better than that.

With the author

Buildings are storytellers. They teach us about our history, good and bad. They tell stories about people.

George Clarke

Great architecture is not just about buildings like the Shard or the Guggenheim - it can be a caravan, castle, boat or house.

George Clarke

When I began studying architecture all I ever wanted was an original, black Eames lounge chair.

George Clarke

You can't lay bricks in the snow or rain. We still use wet plaster on walls which might not dry for a week if it's frosty. The way we build houses today is unbelievably inefficient. Ridiculously inefficient. Gas technology has moved on, but building is still in the dark ages. We still build houses the way the Romans did.

I'm working on a school of architecture in China. It's rare that an architect gets to design a school of architecture, and here I get to do it. I'm so pleased that they asked me.

Michael Graves

I would say that to put architecture in the chain of history, to be able to interpret and understand why we are where we are, is quite crucial.

Rafael Moneo

In retrospect, the pace of change in the arts and industry in the nineteenth century seems pretty glacial. Painting, music, the novel, architecture were all evolving, but at a pretty observable pace.

Amor Towles

I learned to paint in a historical method. First through watercolours and then through oil. Then, when I went to college and to the school of architecture, I took up modern painting.

James Ivory

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

I've always been interested in an architecture of resistance - architecture that has some power over the way we live. Working under adversarial conditions could be seen as a plus because you're offering alternatives. Still, there are situations that make you ask the questions: 'Do I want to be a part of this?'

Thom Mayne

I am not an enthusiast when it comes to cities, preferring rolling scenery, wildlife and stars to museums, monuments, architecture and traffic.

Ann Widdecombe

I am an engineer, not just an architect, so I've always been motivated by technique or technology. As soon as technology moves just a little bit, it changes architecture.

Santiago Calatrava
