If thereâs anything architects like doing more than designing buildings, itâs talking about architecture. Whether musing about their inspirations (a blank sheet of paper, the sun hitting the side of a building), expanding on each otherâs thoughts (on materials, collaboration, clients, and constraints), or dishing out a clever quip, architects make good copy. The Architect Says is a colorful compendium of quotations from more than one hundred of historyâs most opinionated design minds. Paired on page spreads like guests at a dinner partyâan architect of today might sit next to a contemporary or someone from the eighteenth centuryâthese sets of quotes convey a remarkable depth and diversity of thinking. Alternately wise and amusing, this elegant gem of a book makes the perfect gift for architects, students, and anyone curious about the ideas and personalities that have helped shape our built world.
