Chinese - Architect Born: 1975

With the author

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

Ma Yansong

Oscar Niemeyer really inspired me. He's from South America, where nature has meaning. And his architecture was not expensive or high tech but artistic and spiritual. I like that.

Ma Yansong

Since the Beijing Olympics in 2008, our office has been discussing how we can make architecture more human and at one with nature. We need to ask ourselves, what legacy do we want to leave behind on humankind's urban culture?

Ma Yansong

The beauty of architecture is it involves work that stretches over a very long time but often starts in one instant, with just one emotion, a kind of instinctual response.

Ma Yansong

In China, it's very easy to make architecture special because anything you design will look different, as most parts of the city are very similar. They make so many massive residential buildings.

Ma Yansong

Ultimately, the artistic part of architecture has always interested me.

Ma Yansong

A shan-shui city is a modern city, a high-density urban situation, but we pay more attention to the environment. We bring waterfalls; we bring in a lot of trees and gardens. We treat architecture as a landscape.

Ma Yansong

Architecture is about experience: not only visual but also what you can touch, what you can feel.

Doctrines provide an architecture for both Republican and Democrat presidents to carry out policies.

Malcolm Wallop

People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming.

Rem Koolhaas

Music, first of all, is completely about abstraction, which is exactly what architecture is not. In a way, it has been incredibly constructive to know what true abstraction is. So you don't fall into the trap of thinking that what you do is abstract.

Rafael Vinoly

I quit college. I was studying architecture for about a year.

Barry Mann

We need a new health care architecture that will reduce costs, improve outcomes, and protect vulnerable persons.

Jeff Fortenberry

I'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.

Brad Pitt

The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture, and the language that we use about politics, it's completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties.

Nick Clegg

I think architecture, to be really intense and fulfilling, doesn't have to be large.
