I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future. Tadao Ando

The building of the architecture of a novel - the craft of it - is something I never tire of. John Irving
I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away. Helmut Jahn

The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture. Helmut Jahn
The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity, especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples, no ambitions. Helmut Jahn

The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally. Stephen Gardiner
