Aside from keeping the rain out and producing some usable space, architecture is nothing but a special-effects machine that delights and disturbs the senses.

I believe in an ›emotional architecture‹. It is very important for humankind that architecture should move by its beauty; if there are many equally valid technical solutions to a problem, the one which offers the user a message of beauty and emotion, that one is architecture.

Aber alle diese Feinheiten, bestimmt, die Dauer des Bauwerks zu sichern, waren eine Kleinigkeit im Verhältnis zu denen, die er gebrauchte, wenn es sich darum handelte, die Erregungen und Schwingungen vorzubereiten, die in der Seele des künftigen Betrachters seines Werkes entstehen sollten.
