The Architect Says: Quotes, Quips and Words of Wisdom
If thereâs anything architects like doing more than designing buildings, itâs talking about architecture. Whether musing about their inspirations (a blank sheet of paper, the sun hitting the side of a building), expanding on each otherâs thoughts (on materials, collaboration, clients, and constraints), or dishing out a clever quip, architects make good copy. The Architect Says is a colorful compendium of quotations from more than one hundred of historyâs most opinionated design minds. Paired on page spreads like guests at a dinner partyâan architect of today might sit next to a contemporary or someone from the eighteenth centuryâthese sets of quotes convey a remarkable depth and diversity of thinking. Alternately wise and amusing, this elegant gem of a book makes the perfect gift for architects, students, and anyone curious about the ideas and personalities that have helped shape our built world.
