Rudolf Steiner Quotes

Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.

Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.

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.

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 the reaching out for the truth.

Architecture is about public space held by buildings.

I want to explore my design philosophy in different mediums, and I'm very interested in architecture.

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

My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.

Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.

When I started designing in school, I discovered that I had a knack for it. I fell completely in love with architecture, and I remain in love with it.

The first thing that an architect must do is to sense that every building you build is a world of its own, and that this world of its own serves an institution.

Architecture has its place in the concrete world. This is where it exists. This is where it makes its statement.

All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.

Architecture depends on facts, but its real field of activity lies in the realm of the significance.

Architecture is art, nothing else.

Architecture is inhabited sculpture.

Architecture depends on its time. It is the crystallization of its inner structure, the slow unfolding of its form.

Buildings are forms of performances.

For me, the excitement in architecture revolves around the idea and the phenomenon of the experience of that idea. Residences offer almost immediate gratification. You can shape space, light, and materials to a degree that you sometimes can't in larger projects.

To me, architecture is an art, naturally, and it isn't architecture unless it's alive. Alive is what art is. If it's not alive, it's dead, and it's not art.

To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.

Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.
