You have to lead, in the case of a game show, a contestant through the architecture of the show. So there's a lot of rules there, literal and implied, that you have to navigate.
The art and architecture of the past that we know is that which remains. The best is that which remains where it was painted, placed or built. Most of the art of the past that could be moved was taken by conquerors. Almost all recent art is conquered as soon as it's made, since it's first shown for sale and once sold is exhibited as foreign in the alien museums. The public has no idea of art other than that it is something portable that can be bought. There is no constructive effort; there is no cooperative effort. This situation is primitive in relation to a few earlier and better times.
Architecture must make connections
The Fire Department has traditionally considered architecture a priority only when it’s burning down.
Architecture is a science arising out of many other sciences, and adorned with much and varied learning; by the help of which a judgment is formed of those works which are the result of other arts.
I have designed the most buildings of any living American architect.
The ultimate goal of the architect. . . is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture. . . should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.
In a strange way, architecture is really an unfinished thing, because even though the building is finished, it takes on a new life. It becomes part of a new dynamic: how people will occupy it, use it, think about it.
I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
Architecture is not about space but about time.
Greek architecture is the flowering of geometry.
A modern, harmonic and lively architecture is the visible sign of authentic democracy.
Good information architecture enables people to find and do what they came for. Great information architecture takes find out of the equation: the site behaves as the visitor expects. Poor or missing information architecture neuters content, design, and programming and devalues the site for its owners as well as the audience it was created to serve. It’s like a film with no director. The actors may be good, the sets may be lovely, but audiences will leave soon after the opening credits.
Man, there's another freedom out there, and it comes from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is the place I'm interested in.
Architecture is, to a certain extent, a sensual gratification. It addresses itself to the eye, and affords the best scope for the parade of barbaric pomp and splendour. It is the form in which the revenues of a semi-civilized people are most likely to be lavished. The most gaudy and ostentatious specimens of it, and sometimes the most stupendous, have been reared by such hands. It is one of the first steps in the great march of civilization.
Vitality is radiated from exceptional art and architecture.
In pure architecture the smallest detail should have a meaning or serve a purpose.
Preston Sturges, who wrote The Palm Beach Story, said screenplay writing is architecture. That's why it's so rare to read one that's any good.
I'm totally into architecture for all strata of society. High design should not just be for rich people.
I don't believe in the word 'inspiration', you just have to do it.
