  • 3. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.
  • 2. To work in architecture you are so much involved with society with politics with bureaucrats. It's a very complicated process to do large projects. You start to see the society how it functions how it works. Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works.
  • 3. If architecture had nothing to do with art it would be astonishingly easy to build houses but the architect's task – his most difficult task – is always that of selecting.
