Helmut Jahn
-
A city building, you experience when you walk a suburban building, you experience when you drive.
-
Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.
-
I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.
-
It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?
-
The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.
