Architecture is a form of social art - Ieoh Ming Pei

Form is just the recognition of the differences between things. …Take a little away from it and the form is ruined. ...Design is an exercise, or the formation of entities from the recognition of forms. As a random example, if you think about a so-called "spoon", you think of a container and a handle. After taking away the container, all that was left was what looked like a sword. Remove the handle and it becomes a cup. Put in one place, they become a spoon. However, "spoon" is not a certain spoon, "spoon" is a form. A certain spoon can be made of silver, wood, or paper - becoming a certain spoon, this is the design. ...This can be analogized to houses and anything we make - Louis Kahn

A great building, in my opinion, must start from immeasurable conditions , when it is designed, it must pass all measurable means, and in the end it must be immeasurable. The only way to build a house, the only way to make a building visible, is through measurable means. You must obey the laws of nature. A certain amount of bricks, construction methods and engineering skills are all required.

In the end, the building becomes a part of life, it produces immeasurable temperament and glows with a living spirit. ——Louis Kahn {Quietness and Light}

In the past I believed that there were gravityless objects, but now I am convinced that buildings are gravityless and can float. ——Zaha hadid
