“Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore...” — Adolf Loos Quote

“Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.”

“The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not.”

“The law courts must appear as a threatening gesture toward secret vice. The bank must declare: here your money is secure and well looked after by honest people.”

“I call architecture frozen music.”

“I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.”

“Music, architecture and pictures have always been my passions, and all that material wealth has meant for me, is being able to have some of the pictures I liked.”
