Arne Jacobsen

I have no philosophy, my favourite thing is sitting in the studio. ”

With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects - the building is there to be used, and times change. ”

Almost every time I make a building, some people will condemn it straight to Hell. ”

If a building becomes architecture, then it is art. ”

I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly. ”

Carrying out the thing, getting it to the point when one might say: There, now it is good - that point is hard to reach. Often, one sets very high goals for oneself. Perhaps too high. ”

There is always a point when one senses one's lack of skill, the doubt. ”

Architecture tends to consume everything else, it has become one's entire life. ”

When I travel, I draw and paint sketches which is great fun. And as long as you are fully aware that it has nothing to do with actual art, I think that's all right. ”

I am going to be working on bathroom fittings for a company in the USA, and then I thought it was appropriate to simplify the fittings and, thus, lowering the cost. ”
