I think people care. If not, why do so many people spend money going on vacations to see architecture? They go to the Parthenon, to Chartres, to the Sydney Opera House. They go to Bilbao... Something compels them, and yet we live surrounded by everything but great architecture.

With the author

Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.

Frank Gehry

I don't want to do architecture that's dry and dull.

Frank Gehry

There are a lot of questions about whether architecture is art. The people who ask that think pretty tract houses are architecture. But that doesn't hold up.

Frank Gehry

You have freedom, so you have to make choices - and at the point when I make a choice, the building starts to look like a Frank Gehry building. It's a signature.

Frank Gehry

I don't think all buildings have to be iconic, but the history of the world has shown us that cultures build iconic buildings for their major public buildings.

Frank Gehry

It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it. Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone.

Frank Gehry

This neo-minimalism super cold stuff is weird to me. I need a place where I can come home and take my shoes off.

Frank Gehry

There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.

Frank Gehry

Same category

Architecture is art, nothing else.

Philip Johnson

Great architecture of the past was always clear. SFMOMA is still a simple building to understand.

Mario Botta

By 1970, the first stirrings of the revolt against Modernist orthodoxy in architecture had been felt, although it would be several years more until Postmodernism was widely accepted and made classical motifs permissible in high-style building design for the first time in decades.

Martin Filler

Some people think architecture is about the genius sketch; I don't. Great architecture is a collaboration among a lot of people over a long period of time.

Joshua Prince-Ramus

A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive.

Helmut Jahn

I don't believe that classical architecture is enough to engage people anymore. They say: 'So what else is new?'

Peter Eisenman

I got a degree in architecture for the educational experience but in terms of career, everything is cinema.

Kalyani Priyadarshan

The World's Fair was the precursor to theme parks like Disneyworld, and the really sort of cheap, superficial promotional architecture that you see everywhere in the U.S. I think there's a danger when you start creating a civilisation that isn't meant to last.

Sufjan Stevens
