Famous quotes containing the word architecture:

    “All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “The principle of the Gothic architecture is infinity made imaginable.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “I don’t think of form as a kind of architecture. The architecture is the result of the forming. It is the kinesthetic and visual sense of position and wholeness that puts the thing into the realm of art.”
    —Roy Lichtenstein (b. 1923)
