“ Architecture belongs to culture, not to civilization. ”
We should work for simple, good, undecorated things, but things which are in harmony with the human being and organically suited to the little man in the street.
~ Alvar Aalto
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.
Just as it takes time for a speck of fish spawn to develop into a fully grown fish, so, too, we need time for everything that develops and crystallizes in the world of ideas. Architecture demands more of this time than other creative work.
The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture.
