Purpose Is Not Necessary To

I Like The Thought That What We Are To Do On This Earth Is Embellish It For Its Greater Beauty, So That Oncoming Generations Can Look Back To The Shapes We Leave Here And Get The Same Thrill That I Get In Looking Back At Theirs - At The Parthenon, At Chartres Cathedral.

The Automobile Is The Greatest Catastrophe In The Entire History Of City Architecture.

The Practice Of Architecture Is The Most Delightful Of All Pursuits. Also, Next To Agriculture, It Is The Most Necessary To Man. One Must Eat, One Must Have Shelter. Next To Religious Worship Itself, It Is The Spiritual Handmaiden Of Our Deepest Convictions.

We Do Pretty Much Whatever We Want To.

I Like To Be Buttoned Onto Tradition. The Thing Is To Improve It, Twist It And Mold It; To Make Something New Of It; Not To Deny It. The Riches Of History Can Be Plucked At Any Point.
