ARCHITECTURAL QUOTES

Koolhaas

1. "revolutionised the way architects look at program and interaction with space

2. ‘Biggness’ - dismiss scale and proportion as no longer applicable to contemp architecture

3. celebrates the chance like nature of city life: ‘The city is an addictive machine from which there is no escape

4. people can inhabit anything and they can be miserable in anything and estatic in anything and more and more architecture doesn’t have anything to do with it, of course that’s both liberating and alarming

6. ‘zero tolerance’ is a deadly mantra for a metropolis : what is a city if not a space of maximum license ?

8. Where space was considered permanent it no feels transitory – on its way to becoming

9. The unbuilt is the fantasy that underlies everything

10. The stronger the identity, the more it imprisons, the more it resists expansion interpretation, renewal, contradiction

11. Fragmentation used to reduce impact – dive building to smaller pieces and arrange them so building can not be seen as a whole from any point of view

Aalto

1.

1. Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separate problems. If we split life into separate problems, we split the possibilities to make good building art.

2. create dynamic between the building and its natural surrounding

3. the ultimate goal of architect is to create a paradise

4. the shapes and design that surround us are the music accompanying tragedy and comedy

5. The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life

6. Create a sense of warmth and humanity as opposed to sheer function

7. Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking. But all in harmony together.
