Architecture is erroneously thought to concern only buildings but in its truest and purest sense, it is an experiential science that shapes the built environment. It has been posited that all human activity can be orchestrated by architecture and I tend to wholeheartedly concur

There are many quotes from architects the world over but here are a curated few that hit at the core of what the true value and meaning of architecture is to the larger society.

"As an architect, you design for the present with an awareness of the past for a future which is essential unknown" - Norman Foster
"I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm, to make you think." - Zaha Hadid
The architect must be a prophet...a prophet in the true sense of the term... if he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect". - Frank Lloyd Wright
"The responsibility of an architect is to create a sense of order, a sense of place, a sense of relationship" - Richard Meier
"Beyond the obvious creation of beautiful buildings and environments, the main goal of architecture is the provision of a solid template for the creation of pleasureable life time experiences and memories" - Agatha Odigie
