“There will never be great architects or architecture without great pat...” — Edwin Lutyens Quote

“There will never be great architects or architecture without great patrons.”

“Every garden scheme should have a backbone, a central idea beautifully phrased. Every wall, path, stone and flower should have its relationship to the central idea.”

“I advise everyone to build a house at 19. It's such good practice.”

“Architecture will always express the technical and social progress of the country in which it is carried out. If we wish to give it the human content that it lacks, we must participate in the political struggle.”

“I think all good architecture should challenge you, make you start asking questions. You don't have to understand it. You may not like it. That's OK.”

“Architecture has curled up in a ball and it's about itself. It has found itself either as a freakshow, where you're not sure if it's good or bad but at least it's interesting, or at the behest of forces of commerce.”
