“Architecture is invention.”– Oscar Niemeyer Related Quotes “All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.”– Philip Johnson “Of the individual poems, some are more lyric and some are more descriptive or narrative.

All those moments written or read together take on the movement and architecture of a narrative.”– Marilyn Hacker “For many years, I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind.”– James Rouse
