Famous quotes containing the word architecture:

    “In short, the building becomes a theatrical demonstration of its functional ideal. In this romanticism, High-Tech architecture is, of course, no different in spirit—if totally different in form—from all the romantic architecture of the past.”
    —Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)

    “No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.”
    —Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
