“The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art

which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The
house is not.”

“Lack of ornamentation is a sign of spiritual strength.”

“Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task

therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.”

“All art is erotic. The first ornament to have been invented, the
cross, was of erotic origin. It was the first work of art. A horizontal
stroke: the woman lying down. A vertical stroke: the male who
penetrates her.”

“The house has to serve comfort. The work of art is revolutionary;

the house is conservative.”

“It does not seem possible to me to conceive anything sadder than a

monument composed of a smooth, naked and unadorned surface, of a
light absorbent material, absolutely bare of details, and of which the
decoration is formed by a composition of shadows, drawn by shadows
still darker.”

“One cannot make architecture without studying the condition of life in

the city”

“What surprises me most in architecture, as in other techniques, is that a

project has one life in its built state but another in its written or drawn

“Architects don’t invent anything; they transform reality.”

“I am a firm believer in praxis, and I don’t have much time for the
idea of the loner of genius who does everything all by himself.
You need other people as well, at every level.”

“A good architect works slowly.”

“The relation of a building to its function needs to be much less

schematic and formal if you want to produce good architecture.”

“Tradition is a challenge to innovation.”

“There is always a conflict and that even increases as I get older.

I have to be on my guard not to oversimplify things, but you can

our lives.”

“I believe that architecture, as anything else in life, is evolutionary.

Ideas evolve; they don't come from outer space and crash into the
drawing board.”

“Architecture is restricted to such a limited vocabulary. A building

is either a high-rise or a perimeter block or a town house.”

“For me, architecture is the means, not the end. It's a means of
making different life forms possible.”

designers of beautiful facades or beautiful sculptures, but systems

“Architecture is not just for the moment, it is not just for the next

“I believe that architecture is a pragmatic art. To become art it must

be built on a foundation of necessity.”

“Architecture is the very mirror of life.You only have to cast your eyes
on buildings to feel the presence of the past, the spirit of a place;
they are the reflection of society.”

“Contemporary architects tend to impose modernity on something.

There is a certain concern for history but it’s not very deep. I
understand that time has changed, we have evolved. But I don’t want
to forget the beginning. A lasting architecture has to have roots.”

“Great artists need great clients.”

“Let's do it right. This is for the ages.”

“ I have a rather ad hoc and expedient attitude to structure,

particularly as a design element, and I usually manage to prevent it
from intruding in the architectural solution. I'm more concerned with
sociological, environmental and organizational problems, which I
regard as being more important in the evolution of a design. ”

“ Form follows function.”

“Once you learn to look at architecture not merely as an art more or less
well or more or less badly done, but as a social manifestation, the critical
eye becomes clairvoyant.”

“What the people are within, the buildings express without.”

“The building’s identity resided in the ornament.”

“It was the spirit animating the mass and flowing from it, and it expressed
the individuality of the building.”

“The problem of the tall office building is one of the most stupendous,
one of the most magnificent opportunities that the Lord of Nature in His
beneficence has ever offered to the proud spirit of man.”

“A proper building grows naturally, logically, and poetically out of all its
Father of Skyscrapers conditions.”

“Our architecture reflects truly as a mirror.”

“To teach is to touch the heart and impel it to action.”

“The chief characteristics of the tall building is that it is lofty. It must be

every inch a proud and soaring thing, rising in sheer exultation so that
from bottom to top it should be a unit without a single dissenting line.”

“An architect, to be a true exponent of his time, must possess first, last
and always the sympathy, the intuition of a poet... this is the one real, vital
principle that survives through all places and all times.”

“It cannot for a moment be doubted that an art work to be alive, to

awaken us to its life, to inspire us sooner or later with its purpose, must
indeed be animate with a soul, must have been breathed upon by the
spirit and must breathe in turn that spirit.”

“It was the spirit animating the mass and flowing from it, and it expressed
the individuality of the building.”

“Architecture appears for the first time when the sunlight hits a wall.
The sunlight did not know what it was before it hit a wall.”

“I sense Light as the giver of all presences, and material as spent Light. What
is made by Light casts a shadow, and the shadow belongs to Light.”

“The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building.”

“Even a room which must be dark needs at least a crack of light to know
how dark it is.”

“We are born of light. The seasons are felt through light. We only know the
world as it is evoked by light.”

“You say to a brick, 'What do you want, brick?' And brick says to you, 'I like
an arch.' And you say to brick, 'Look, I want one, too, but arches are
expensive and I can use a concrete lintel.' And then you say: 'What do you
think of that, brick?' Brick says: 'I like an arch.‘”

“A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through

measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be
unmeasurable.”

“All material in nature, the mountains and the streams and the air and we,
are made of Light which has been spent, and this crumpled mass called
material casts a shadow, and the shadow belongs to Light.”

“Architecture is the thoughtful making of space.”

“A room is not a room without natural light.”

“Every building must have... its own soul.”

“Architecture is what nature cannot make. Architecture is something

unnatural but not something made up.”

“I try to create homes, not houses.”

“Technology is rooted in the past. It dominates the present and tends

else, it is also about the cultural setting and the ambience, the whole

“In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic

“Architectural and product designs have a narrative capacity - you

can start to tell a story about them and imagine a lot of things.”

TUTTE L'OPERE D'ARCHITETTURA ET PROSPETIVA

("ALL THE WORKS ON ARCHITECTURE AND PERSPECTIVE")
OR
I SETTE LIBRI DELL'ARCHITETTURA
("SEVEN BOOKS OF ARCHITECTURE")
– This was the first architectural handbook that emphasized the
practical rather than the theoretical aspects of architecture, and it
was the first to catalog the five orders.

“I'm not inventing anything new, I'm just using existing material
differently.”

“Architects mostly work for privileged people, people who have

money and power, Power and money are invisible, so people hire us
to visualize their power and money by making monumental
architecture. I love to make monuments, too, but I thought perhaps
we can use our experience and knowledge more for the general
public, even for those who have lost their houses in natural
disasters.”

“I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by

architecture.”

“When you look at Japanese traditional architecture, you have to look

at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually
live in a harmonious, close contact with nature - this very unique to
Japan.”

“If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be
achieved from that nothingness.”

“You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to
absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then
use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret
what you see.”

“When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as

the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about
how people will approach the building and experience that space.”

“Architecture begins where engineering ends.”

“Specialists are people who always repeat the same mistakes.”

“Art itself cannot be taught, but craftsmanship can. Architects, painters,

sculptors are all craftsmen in the original sense of the word.”

“The mind is like an umbrella – it functions best when open”

“A modern, harmonic and lively architecture is the visible sign of an

authentic democracy.”

“Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a

material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for
everyone in a civilized society.”

“Limitation makes the creative mind inventive.”

“If your contribution has been vital there will always be somebody to pick
up where you left off, and that will be your claim to immortality.”

“Man has evolved a mutual relationship with nature on earth, but his
power to change its surface has grown so tremendously that this may
become a curse instead of a blessing.”

“One of the outstanding achievements of the new constructional

technique has been the abolition of the separating function of the wall.”

“The greatest responsibility of the planner and architect, I believe, is the

protection and development of our habitat.”

“Let us together create the new building of the future, which will be
everything in one form: architecture and sculpture and painting.”

“Only work which is the product of inner compulsion can have spiritual
meaning.”

KEY ELEMENTS OF BAUHAUS ARCHITECTURE

• Eschewing ornamentation to focus on simple, rational, functional

design.
• A focus on simple geometric forms such as the triangle, square, and
circle.
• Asymmetry favored over symmetry.
• Use of steel, glass, concrete, and other modern materials.
• Flat roofs.
• Glass curtain walls.
• Smooth façades.

Gropius's buildings were in stark

contrast to previous architectural
styles and were characterized by
their cubic design, flat roofs and
expanses of glass that allowed
for a merging of interior and

3 POINTS ON HIS PHILOSOPHY OF DESIGN:

• architecture is a fine art committed to creating beauty

• the social nature of architecture places a unique responsibility on the architect,

that a building becomes part of the environment and functions in a dynamic
interaction with it

• architecture must strive for simplicity.
