“寻找你所坚信的东西。”——诺曼•福斯特

“美是功能的顶峰！如果某事物是美丽的，那么它就具有功能性。我不区分美和功能。对美丽的追求是每位建筑师的毕生所求……我对美好的事务很感兴趣，也许有人说我是一个唯美主义者，但事实并非如此，对美的追求应该是任何建筑师的首要任务。”——西扎

"Beauty is the peak of functionality! If something is beautiful, it is functional. I don’t separate beauty and functionality. Beauty is the key functionality for architects… I wonder how I could say that beauty was not of interest to me... Perhaps someone provoked me by saying that I am an aestheticist. I am not that. But a search for beauty should be the number one preoccupation of any architect." - álvaro Siza [+]

“建筑的挑战是从问题的特殊性转向问题的模糊性。”——亚历杭德罗阿拉维那

"The challenge with architecture is to move from the specificity of the problem to the ambiguity of the question." - Alejandro Aravena [+]

“对我来说，建筑是改变人们之间联系的方式。那是建筑中最令人兴奋的部分。我认为建筑是一个系统，你如何建立各种联系让人们相互沟通？人们相互交流的机会是什么？建筑如何激发新的联系？也许能够通过空间或材料、各种科学技术等等，我从每个元素中都能寻找到最有用的东西。”——珍妮•甘

"For me, architecture is about changing the way people are interconnected. That’s the most exciting part of architecture. I think of architecture as a system; how you set up various opportunities for people to relate to one another, and to be empowered. What are the opportunities for people to interact? How can buildings spark new relationships? This could be through spaces or materials, both old and new, low or high technologies, I pull from everything to find what works best." - Jeanne Gang [+]

“我们必须建造无障碍的空间。”——弗朗西斯•凯雷

"We must build spaces that do not create barriers." - Francis Kéré [+]

“建筑师必须成为社会的一部分，但我们是局外人。”——西萨•佩里

"Architects have to be part of society, but we are outsiders." - César Pelli [+]

“我曾经在设计工作室任教，我不想过多地影响学生，因为他们都是专业的建筑师。当然，他们认为他们无所不知，但事实是没有人知道任何事情。但是一个好老师必须表现得满腹经纶，不仅仅是专业知识，信心也非常重要。每一个问题都需要思考，而不是现成的解决方案。你要去了解你所不擅长的知识，这几乎是迫在眉睫的事。你必须主动去了解事务——这才是关键。”——保罗•门德斯•达•洛查

"I used to teach the final year of the design studio. I would not try to influence the students too much because they were almost professional architects themselves. Of course, they think they know everything, but the reality is that no one knows anything. But a good teacher has to act like he knows. Confidence is very important, not only knowledge. Every problem requires thinking, not readymade solutions. You know that you don’t know, but there is an urgency to do something. You have to discover the knowledge – that’s the whole point." - Paulo Mendes da Rocha [+]
