“ Britain loves a bargain, but you don't get good, lasting architecture on the cheap. ”
If you look at a building by Mies van der Rohe, it might look very simple, but up close, the sheer quality of construction, materials and thought are inspirational.
~ David Chipperfield
I suppose I'm trying to build an architecture that's as timeless as possible, although we're all creatures of our age.
The difference between good and bad architecture is the time you spend on it.
Seeing architecture differently from the way you see the rest of life is a bit weird. I believe one should be consistent in all that one does, from the books you read to the way you bring up your children. Everything you do is connected.
