Mies van der Rohe

Architecture should speak for itself.

The true work of art is born from the artist: a spontaneous, instinctive expression of sensibility.

The column is the starting point of architecture.

Life is too short to build ugly buildings.

The essence of architecture is structure.

We create spaces for human experience.

Materials must be used honestly.

The building must be a living thing.

Architecture is frozen music.

I strive for clarity in design.

The future of architecture is in steel and glass.

Every detail matters in the grand design.

Architecture reflects the spirit of the age.

Simplicity requires courage.
