Moshe Safdie Architecture Quotations

Architecture is changing faster than some other professions.

Architecture has joined the world of fashion, but fashion is passing and architecture is timeless.

We are producing urban places which are disjointed and disconnected and not worthy of our civilisation

Architecture should be rooted in the past, and yet be part of our own time and forward looking.

He who seeks truth, shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty, shall find vanity. He who seeks order, shall find gratification.He who seeks gratification, shall find disappointment. He who considers himself a servant of his fellow beings,shall find joy of self expression. He who seeks self expression, shall fall to the pit of arrogance. Arrogance is incompatible with nature. Through nature, the nature of the universe and the nature of man,we shall seek truth. If we seek truth we shall find beauty.
