The substance of fictional architecture is not bricks and mortar but evanescent consciousness.

One of the most significant trends in recent times has been the take up of SOA (service-oriented architecture), with all the main IT vendors starting to take the approach on board. The implications of this include that IT departments must start to address SOA in plans for the future and look at how this impacts enterprise application delivery.

New Orleans - along with San Francisco - is the greatest collection of 18th-, 19th- and early-20th-century residential architecture in the United States. You're talking about miles and miles of historic properties. But saving the historic context does not mean necessarily rebuilding everything in it. I don't think you build a bad 21st-century copy of a brilliant 19th-century building.

New Orleans is an extraordinary city; its arts and architecture are cherished by people all over the world.

New Orleans is body and soul. The soul is the people and the body is the architecture, and you can't save the one without saving the other. We need to have individual assessment of houses before they are bulldozed willy-nilly.

I did three and a half years in the architecture school with no real love or feel for it. After quite a while I realized I don't like to pick up a pen and freely sketch and let my imagination run towards structures. And if I don't have that natural desire, what am I doing here? How did I let this illusion go on so long?

I don't know any architects that I respect who don't have their own voice. I think the difference between architecture and the other arts is your immersion in reality.

I have a traditional view of the afterlife... heaven, hell and judgments. But the accounts of those places are scant, and I believe it's on purpose. We aren't supposed to try to figure out the architecture of the afterlife, since the big game is here in this life.

Harrow the house of the dead; look shining at / New styles of architecture, a change of heart.

I fought violently for the autonomy of architecture. It's a very passive, weak profession where people deliver a service. You want a blue door, you get a blue door. You want it to look neo-Spanish, you get neo-Spanish. Architecture with any authenticity represents resistance. Resistance is a good thing.

I founded a club, which is called the Brutally Early Club. It's basically a breakfast salon for the 21st century where art meets science meets architecture meets literature.

For me, the excitement in architecture revolves around the idea and the phenomenon of the experience of that idea. Residences offer almost immediate gratification. You can shape space, light, and materials to a degree that you sometimes can't in larger projects.

Hardware wise, there's a lot of marketing hype about the consoles. A lot of it really needs to be taken with grains of salt about exactly how powerful it is, ... The Xbox 360 has an architecture where you essentially have got three processors and they're all running the same memory pool and they're all synchronized, and cache coherent, and you can spawn off another thread in your program and make it go do some work. That's kind of the best case and it's still really difficult to turn into faster performance or getting it to get more stuff done in a game title.

Through nature, the nature of the universe and the nature of man,we shall seek truth. If we seek truth we shall find beauty.

Organizations have started to create road maps that will enable their transition to a service-oriented architecture.

Our line of business structure has served us very well in the past, when customer segments and product requirements were very distinct.

Paul will provide landscape architecture and we'll do civil architecture. We'll help with layout and all of the things he needs for construction.

I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.

James is studying architecture now, but neither Paul nor I would be surprised if he moves into music, as he has such a passion for playing.

Our target is to deliver demonstrable evidence to our customer that in-hub electric-drive is mature enough to meet the FRES requirement and that the hybrid power architecture can be successfully integrated with an open standards electronic architecture. Further, this is an excellent opportunity for the customer to evaluate the transformational benefits of a hybrid-electric drive that offers track-like performance at wheeled vehicle costs, which has the capability to quickly balance or shift power to mission systems that may have different requirements based on mission profile. This optimizes performance for fuel efficiency, and removes traditional armored fighting-vehicle drive line constraints, which will significantly reduce the whole-life cost of ownership.

I think if they build those things, it could do more damage than good. It's just ridiculous. It trivializes the architecture and will ultimately detract from the good things being done.

I think it's a really wonderful way of looking at leadership development. What we're saying is, if you understand the broad issues that make up the life of the city, if you understand its history, if you understand its architecture and its neighborhood and its place, if you understand some of the ethical dilemmas that leaders must face as they make different choices about a city, and if you can articulate that in some kind of a creative process, then you are prepared to take an active role in decisions and choices that affect your life as well as the city's.

Unified messaging is really an old architecture. It has been around since the mid-'90s. There is a shift happening, because Microsoft is getting into the business. Still, you can't really say that things will change overnight.
