Erich Mendelsohn's Drawings Are Expressive

I Think My Best Skill As An Architect Is The Achievement Of Hand-to-eye Coordination. I Am Able To Transfer A Sketch Into A Model Into The Building.

I Work From The Inside Out.

I Know I Draw Without Taking My Pen Off The Page. I Just Keep Going, And That My Drawings I Think Of Them As Scribbles. I Don't Think They Mean Anything To Anybody Except To Me, And Then At The End Of The Day, The End Of The Project, They Wheel Out These Little Drawings And They're Damn Close To What The Finished Building Is And It's The Drawing.

The Back Of Saint Peter's Is One Of The Finest Pieces Of Architecture I've Ever Seen.

A Well-designed Home Has To Be Very Comfortable. I Can't Stand The Aesthetes, The Minimal Thing. I Can't Live That Way. My Home Has To Be Filled With Stuff - Mostly Paintings, Sculpture, My Fish Lamps, Cardboard Furniture, Lots Of Books.
