Claude Shannon Quotes

I like building.

I do not write, I build.

I was much more interested in making things than in designing them.

Tech, in the sense of... putting things together, that goes back beyond memory for me.

Engineering or Technology is the making of things that did not previously exist, whereas science is the discovering of things that have long existed.

I just like building stuff.

I left Aerospace because I wanted to go build, and put spacecraft together.

I love working out how things are made, which is why I have so many models of towers.

I'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing.

Building is just skilled labor, I suppose. It's a lot of work. I don't mind other people building them, but the way things go together and are made is interesting to me; I like that a lot.

I don't see any difference between architecture and engineering. It's the same profession.

I love building things like robots, toys, and all of that.

Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest of all the arts.

I think architecture has to be a gift.

We believe we've got the skill base and the techniques to supply the chips that really enable the end manufacturers to develop exciting, innovative products themselves.

I love architecture.

Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It's coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly.

I work a little bit like a sculptor. When I start, my first idea for a building is with the material. I believe architecture is about that. It's not about paper, it's not about forms. It's about space and material.

I like to think about machines and technology in relation to landscape and architecture.

I have always been fascinated by the way things work and how they came to take the form that they did. Writing about these things satisfies my curiosity about the made world while at the same time giving me an opportunity to design a new explanation for the processes that shape it.

We refuse to recognize problems of form, but only problems of building. Form is not the aim of our work, but only the result. Form, by itself, does not exist. Form as an aim is formalism; and that we reject.

Architecture is invention.

Men admire the man who can organize their wishes and thoughts in stone and wood and steel and brass.

I'm very optimistic about the future. I'm just not optimistic about the skyscraper as a building typology that is suited for the future.
