Richard Rogers Architecture Quotations

Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times.

Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know.

Architecture is a living thing. If I want to leave something to the future, it has to be able to change - but retain something of the ethos that we built up over 50 years.

Architecture is about public space held by buildings.

My architecture tends to be legible, light and flexible. You can read it. You look at a building, and you can see how it is constructed. I put the structure outside.

Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future.

Architecture is a slow business, and city planning even slower.

Architecture is measured against the past, you build in the present, and try to imagine the future.
