Architecture is like a mythical fantastic. It has to be experienced. It can't be described. We can draw it up and we can make models of it, but it can only be experienced as a complete whole. ~ Maya Lin

All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space. ~ Philip Johnson

Form ever follows function. ~ Louis H. Sullivan

Architecture ideally should interact with all the senses: sound, the rippling of water or rustling of bamboo; smell, fragrant flowers and vines as plantings; touch, the tactile quality of the materials; and even taste, an edible landscape of fruit trees and banana palms. ~ Chad Oppenheim

The whole thing began in fancy and in dreaming; and there are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds. ~ G.K. Chesterton, Everlasting Man
