Le Corbusier

“A house is a machine for living in.”

“A city made for speed is made for success.”

“To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.”

“Light creates ambience and feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure.”

“The history of architecture is the history of the struggle for light.”

“Space, light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.”

“To be modern is not a fashion, it is a state. It is necessary to understand history, and he who understands history knows how to find continuity between that which was, that which is, and that which will be.”

“The 'styles' are a lie.”

“The home should be the treasure chest of living.”

“Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.”

“I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.”

“Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these forms.”

“The business of Architecture is to establish emotional relationships by means of raw materials.”

“You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces... But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good, I am happy and I say: 'This is beautiful.' That is Architecture.”

“By law, all buildings should be white.”
