I Believe That Architects Should Design Gardens

In The Creation Of A Garden, The Architect Invites The Partnership Of The Kingdom Of Nature. In A Beautiful Garden The Majesty Of Nature Is Ever Present, But It Is Nature Reduced To Human Proportions And Thus Transformed Into The Most Efficient Haven Against The Aggressiveness Of Contemporary Life.

I Have Devoted Myself To Architecture As A Sublime Act Of Poetic Imagination. Consequently, I Am Only A Symbol For All Those Who Have Been Touched By Beauty. The Words Beauty, Inspiration, Magic, Spellbound, Enchantment, As Well As The Concepts Of Serenity, Silence, Intimacy And Amazement, All These Have Nestled In My Soul. Though I Am Fully Aware That I Have Not Done Them Complete Justice In My Work, They Have Never Ceased To Be My Guiding Lights.

Any Work Of Architecture That Does Not Express Serenity Is A Mistake.

Beauty Is The Oracle That Speaks To Us All.

Life Deprived Of Beauty Is Not Worthy Of Being Called Human.
