Architecture Quotations | Page 6

Architects have created this fake separation between creation and execution. You can see it in architecture schools, where the students look down on going to contracts classes.

Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.

I felt the need to develop a design philosophy, in which I could believe, one that would give direction to my architecture and withstand the test of time.

Architecture adds dimensions to my life that would be impossible to acquire if I retired. The beautiful thing about architecture is that every project is brand new. I am forced to renew myself with every project. Isn't that wonderful?

Architecture is by definition a very collaborative process.

Architecture is good for someone who can multi-task since you have to be able to really manage your time. A lot of what you learn in architecture is not just design, but problem solving.

Architecture is not a private affair; even a house must serve a whole family and its friends, and most buildings are used by everybody, people of all walks of life. If a building is to meet the needs of all the people, the architect must look for some common ground of understanding and experience.

Architecture is the design of space, both interior and exterior. So it's much more closely related to dance than it is to painting or sculpture.

Architecture only does part of the work. How you fill the space matters just as much, sometimes more. I designed a beach house with a continuous living/dining area, but it had to have a table in the middle to give it a visual rhythm. Every room has a foreground and a background. But you also need a middle ground - like that table - to go between.

Architecture was always the plan. I always figured I'd just do theater on the side.

Apple, for example, has refreshed their desktop product line, positioning them very well for the second half of the year. Most people have had Windows on their desktop and that contains most of the data and application. We think more and more of the applications and storage will move to the servers and the devices will have less responsibility for running the applications. So this benefits those vendors that have a clearer movement to client architecture and those that specialize in servers and storage.

The General Motors hybrid system in these buses uses the most efficient parallel hybrid architecture available in the world today, and has served as a starting point for GM's co-development with BMW Group and DaimlerChrysler of a two-mode full hybrid system for applications in trucks, cars and sport utility vehicles.

This award lends credibility to our customers' choice of DD460 as the right solution provider to help them meet their data protection challenges.

What that allows you to do is to make an investment in an architecture that today might be carrying Ethernet and IP ports, but tomorrow might need to switch to T1, TDM, or storage technology.

I am a bit of a junkie. It's inexplicable really. I believe we creatures are very susceptible to our surroundings. They can actually improve our mode of life and I personally am very affected ... when I walk through an intelligent building. It inspires me. To me it's like walking through a piece of art and, coupling that now with the green movement of the smarter architecture - of the healthier buildings with great design - is a very exciting prospect to me.
