Architecture is basically the design of interiors, the art of organizing interior space.

I wouldn't build a building if it wasn't of interest to me as a potential work of art. Why should I?

There's only one reason for my whole life, and that's art. Nothing else counts; nothing else gives me pleasure; nothing else gives me satisfaction.

How does an artist know when the line that he just painted is good or not good? That's the catch. De Kooning was the greatest of my contemporaries in art, and he knew when he'd done a good line. When he didn't, he threw it away. I wish I'd thrown away some of mine.

Architecture is art, nothing else.
