Eero Saarinen

The purpose of architecture is to shelter and enhance man's life on earth and to fulfill his belief in the nobility of his existence.

Architecture is not just a profession, it is a way of life.

I want to create buildings that are not just functional but also beautiful and inspiring.

The chair is not just a piece of furniture, it is a sculpture.

The building should be a total work of art, from the exterior to the interior, down to the smallest detail.

We should always strive for the ideal, even if we know we can never fully achieve it.

Form follows function, but also form follows feeling.

The architect's role is to give form to the dreams and aspirations of society.

I like to work with curves, with forms that flow and are organic.

A building should be a living organism, not a static monument.

The challenge of architecture is to create something new and relevant, while still respecting the past.

I believe in the power of beauty to uplift the human spirit.

Every project is an opportunity to learn and to grow.

The best architecture is timeless, it transcends trends and fashions.

I don't believe in a single style, but in finding the right solution for each specific problem.

The details are not just details, they make the design.

Architecture should be an expression of its time and place.

I try to create spaces that are both grand and intimate.

The architect must be a visionary, but also a pragmatist.

My goal is to make people feel good in the spaces I create.
