“The first thing that an architect must do is to sense that every build...” — Louis Kahn Quote

“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.”

“A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.”

“The street is a room by agreement.”

“Two of my theatres are 1930s and the other five are by Sprague, the greatest Edwardian architect of the lot. They've needed a lot of work doing to them but they were built very well.”

“I'm an architect. Before you start pouring the concrete, you build a foundation that is solid so that when you take the scaffolding down, it holds - forever. So that when junior high schools are doing 'Hunchback,' a 12-year-old as Frollo still works on some level.”

“It gives me the creeps when I see a frame for a building going up and recognise the architect. You shouldn't know who a project is by.”
