I like to play with architecture! It’s my favorite game.
An important work of architecture will create polemics.
When I work on sculpture, I don’t have to worry about function. When I work on a piece of architecture, I must think about function all the time.
I didn’t know what architecture was except that I lived in a house. I don’t even think that I knew the word for a long time. My dad funneled me into engineering because it was his background.
In my experience, if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg, it’s modern architecture.
I would like to attend college in the future when I have time. I have always been interested in architecture, so perhaps I would pursue a degree in that or business.
Our overriding goal in restructuring our financial architecture should be that taxpayers never again have to save a failing financial institution.
Everyone should be able to build, and as long as this freedom to build does not exist, the present-day planned architecture cannot be considered art at all.
The Green Climate Fund is very much a strategic building block in the architecture for financing sustainable development.
I would fix other people’s lines if they asked me on occasion. The hard part of writing is the architecture of it, getting the story and structuring it. Not the tweaking of lines.

Amsterdam is such a fun, cool place, and it’s very Instagrammable with the canals and the boats and the flowers and the architecture. It’s amazing for outfit of the day shots.
I think the artistic side of architecture was natural to me. My mother was an artist and a poet.
I wanted a real profession. And I’d always been interested in architecture and in design and in, really, what makes things work. And understanding what’s kind of behind the walls and why things stand up and some things don’t.
I’ve always known I wanted to be in design somehow. It was going to be architecture, but I would’ve had to quit acting for it. I realized with horology, I could learn at my own pace.
If you’re inclined to dismiss L.A. as a place of unrelenting vapidity and generic 1980s architecture, then you’re doing yourself and L.A. a huge disservice, and you’re just not looking hard enough.
Truly great architecture always transcends its stated function, sometimes in unanticipated ways.
I acquired an admiration for Japanese culture, art, and architecture, and learned of the existence of the game of GO, which I still play.

I haven’t really got a green thumb, but I love gardens and their architecture.
There’s a very mathematical, mechanical side to architecture, and I probably lean more toward that aspect of it, though I’m terrible at numbers. But that side appeals to me more than the decorating aspect.
