Filippo Brunelleschi

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

My tools are my hands and my mind.

The true measure of an architect is his ability to solve problems.

Architecture is frozen music.

I am but a humble servant of God and art.

The architect must be a master of perspective.

To create is to live twice.

My greatest joy is to see my creations stand.

The architect must be a visionary.

There is no substitute for hard work.

I strive for beauty and functionality in equal measure.

The past is our teacher, the future our guide.

My legacy is in the stones I lay.

The architect must understand the materials he uses.

Innovation is the key to progress.

I am a builder of dreams.

The architect must be a master of space.

Knowledge is power.

My art is my life.

The architect must be a problem-solver.
