Britain loves a bargain, but you don't get good, lasting architecture on the cheap. (David Chipperfield)
I like to be surrounded by books. My wife Evelyn has a Ph.D. in comparative literature, so we have a lot of her Spanish and German literature books which are wasted on me, plus a lot of novels and books on art and architecture shared by us both. Evelyn used to edit an art magazine called 'FMR,' so we have a common interest in design. View quote

David Harewood

To go back to architecture, whats organic about architecture as a field, unlike product design, is this whole issue of holism and of monumentality is really our realm.

I don't think architecture should be considered as an art form in the first instance. Whenever I say that, it makes people really angry. But this is a very political profession in the Grecian sense. I believe there have to be reasons for every building, and that the ideas should not be self-referential. View quote
James Polshek
I never studied sculpture, engineering or architecture. In fact, after college I applied to seven art schools and was rejected by all seven. View quote

Jim Woodring
There is a lot of interest in the arts, music, theatre, filmmaking, engineering, architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy. View quote
John Baldacci
Information and inspiration are everywhere... history, art, architecture, everything an illustrator needs. Europe is, after all, the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture. (John Howe)

Joseph Kosinski
Architects have created this fake separation between creation and execution. You can see it in architecture schools, where the students look down on going to contracts classes. View quote

Working off one genius sketch is not the way great architecture should be made. View quote
