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.

Chinese - Architect Born: 1975

With the author

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

Chaoyang Park Plaza is about how to carry the traditional culture into a new format in modern architecture. Instead of building a boundary between the city and the park, I tried to design this building to emerge from the natural landscape.

Ma Yansong

When I was young and used to look at Chinese architecture, there was no clear definition between what was landscaping and what was architecture.

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

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

Ma Yansong

When I graduated from high school, I thought I wanted to make science fiction movies, so I applied to film school, but I couldn't get in. A professor told me I should try architecture instead.

Ma Yansong

I think architecture should be a stage, not something too material - more of an environment, not a product.

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.

The way we do our architecture is to show that we can come up with our own solutions. We don't just take orders.

Ma Yansong

I think I went to Italy initially for the art, architecture, food and history, but I stayed there because of the people in Cortona.

Frances Mayes

When I was 18, I lived in Greenwich Village, New York, for nine months. At that time, I wanted to change the world, not through architecture, but through painting. I lived the artist's life, mingling with poets and writers, and working as a waiter. I was intrigued by the aliveness of the city.

Christian de Portzamparc

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

The future of architecture is culture.

Philip Johnson

One my favorite things is to go to the provinces of Russia and see the 18th century wood churches with the onion dome architecture. These humble wonders of incredible imagination of architects that were obviously not living in places like Paris or London, but they've created these amazing churches.

Andre Leon Talley

There is one way that architecture is superior to sculpture, and that is scale. You can walk into a building and have it all around you.

Santiago Calatrava

This is a look, a part of Australia we don't see. The wide streets, the architecture, the embassies, the space. It's really beautiful and there's a feel to Canberra that is different to any other city.
