“Cities must urge urban planners and architects to reinforce pedestrianism as an integrated city policy to develop lively, safe, sustainable and healthy cities. It is equally urgent to strengthen the social function of city space as a meeting place that contributes toward the aims of social sustainability and an open and democratic society.” SocialSpaceCitiesPolicyHealthySafeFunctionAimDemocraticMeetingsUrgesArchitectSustainabilityUrbanUrgentLivelyIntegratedDemocratic SocietyPlanners Book:Cities for People Source: Cities for People

“I had a lot of fantasies about being an architect when I was young, and I think I still do. On a visceral level, I'm very intellectually and emotionally attracted to acknowledging how space functions in our lives, both in terms of pleasure and in terms of control, and in terms of all those factors that form a life. I'm also very anxious and maybe repulsed by how superficial that whole dialogue can become.” ThinkingStillsWholeFormYoungTermSpacePleasureLevelsFantasyOur LivesFunctionDialogueFactorsAnxiousArchitectSuperficialVisceral Author:Tom Burr
“To work in architecture you are so much involved with society, with politics, with bureaucrats. It's a very complicated process to do large projects.

Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works.” ProcessInvolvedProjectsCriticismFunctionComplicatedArchitectureArchitectBad AssBadassBureaucratsArchitecture And DesignArchitecture DesignModern Architecture Author:Ai Weiwei

“The world is too complicated in all parts and interconnections to be due to chance alone. I am convinced that the existence of life with all its order in each of its organisms is simply too well put together. Each part of a living thing depends on all its other parts to function. How does each part know? How is each part specified at conception? The more one learns of biochemistry the more unbelievable it becomes unless there is some type of organizing principle-an architect.” KnowsWorldWellsDoeTogetherOrderChanceExistencePrinciplesKnow HowTypeDependsEvolutionFunctionComplicatedDuesConvincedConceptionArchitectOrganismsUnbelievableLiving ThingsInterconnectionBiochemistryExistence Of Life Author:Allan Sandage
