I object to the hegemony of form in contemporary architecture. We have very advanced technological tools, but ultimately, we create buildings exactly like we used to before: We send the drawings to an engineer and let him struggle with figuring out how to build it.

American - Architect Born: 1976

With the author

At least since the Industrial Revolution, the world of design has been dominated by the rigors of manufacturing and mass production. Assembly lines have dictated a world made of parts, framing the imagination of designers and architects who have been trained to think about their objects as assemblies of discrete parts with distinct functions.

Neri Oxman

The future of design is a future where anything material in the environment - whether it's wearables, cars, buildings - can be designed with this variation of properties and relationship with the environment that can take part in the natural ecology.

Neri Oxman

I grew up in a modernist house, in a modernist culture. There was a love for modernism everywhere - the furniture, the books, the food, even the cutlery. So I learned very early to appreciate the value of design and the value of architecture.

Neri Oxman

In nature, there is no separation between design, engineering, and fabrication; the bone does it all.

Neri Oxman

I'm not a mother of children, but I'm a different type of mother where my approach to design is more in line with nature. It's less about dictating and more about editing and listening and allowing something to grow. So I nourish and let the material express what it wants to be.

Neri Oxman

There is a very beautiful expression in the Hebrew language that's borrowed from spoken Torah... 'All is predicted, and permission is given at any point to change anything.' I think I live by this idiom in the sense that there is always a goal; there is always something to look forward to in life and my creative search, and that goal is there.

Neri Oxman

Forms in nature are a byproduct of a reciprocal action between a given material and the conditions of the environment. But in architecture, the process is the direct opposite: First you decide on the form, and then you think how to build it in reality.

Neri Oxman

I don't separate architecture, design, or culture. What's more important is a language of creativity that carries meaning.

Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know.

Richard Rogers

I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.

Arne Jacobsen

I love Chicago. It's one of the great cities. I'm crazy about the town. It reminds me of New York when it was at its best, the New York that used to be and is no more. I love the architecture, the old stuff and the new stuff.

Peter Falk

The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.

Michael Graves

Modern architecture needed to be part of an evolutionary, not a revolutionary, process.

I. M. Pei

I read whenever possible, and I buy books all the time, sometimes online, but mostly from bookshops. I love literature. If you want to understand art, it's important to understand what is also happening in literature, in music, in science, in architecture.

Hans-Ulrich Obrist

Architecture is a special kind of career that showcases the accumulations of culture, time, and history.

Ma Yansong

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