“Rationalism is the enemy of art, though necessary as a basis for architecture.”– Arthur Erickson Related Quotes “Trying to describe something musical is like dancing to architecture, it’s really difficult.”– Robert Palmer “Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separated problems. If we split life into separated problems we split the possibilities to make good building art.”– Alvar Aalto “So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent, as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.”– Minoru Yamasaki
