A wise old man once told me, if you’re looking for someone to have sex with, you live in the city; if you’ve got someone to have sex with, you live in the suburbs. Sometimes I think it may be as simple as that.
the article this quote is from is actually about density in cities and what role it plays in the life of the city. But I couldn’t resist te quote.
(from kottke.org)
Something pertinent to me in this quote I feel…
Any architectural project takes five years; no single enterprise - ambition, intention, need - remains unchanged in
the contemporary maelstrom. Architecture is too slow. Yet, the word “architecture” is still pronounced with certain reverence (outside of the profession). It embodies the lingering hope - or the vague memory of hope - that shape, form, coherence could be imposed on the violent surf of information that washes over us daily.”
-Rem Koolhaas (in content)
Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.
-Eliel Saarinen
All I learned from Eliel Saarinen was how to make out an expense account.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
