If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.

Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.

Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks, from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns.

Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things that's all.

Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.
