The House Has To Please

Changes In The Traditional Way Of Building Are Only Permitted If They Are An Improvement. Otherwise Stay With What Is Traditional, For Truth, Even If It Be Hundreds Of Years Old Has A Stronger Inner Bond With Us Than The Lie That Walks By Our Side.

The Room Has To Be Comfortable; The House Has To Look Habitable.

Architecture Arouses Sentiments In Man. The Architect's Task Therefore, Is To Make Those Sentiments More Precise.

Be Not Afraid Of Being Called Un-fashionable.

I Have Emerged Victorious From My Thirty Years Of Struggle. I Have Freed Mankind From Superfluous Ornament.
