I believe very strongly, and have fought since many years ago - at least over 30 years ago - to get architecture not just within schools, but architecture talked about under history, geography, science, technology, art.
Richard Rogers
Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times.
Richard Rogers
My architecture tends to be legible, light and flexible. You can read it. You look at a building, and you can see how it is constructed. I put the structure outside.
Richard Rogers
Architecture is about public space held by buildings.
Richard Rogers
Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future.
Richard Rogers
Architects are not clients. We can't build without something to built.
Richard Rogers
Architecture is always political.
Richard Rogers
The gap between the rich and poor is widening fast.
Richard Rogers
Most buildings, whether they're Gothic cathedrals or Romanesque ones, were high tech for their time.
Richard Rogers
Architects design buildings; that's what we do, so we have to go with the flow; and, even though I'm still an old Leftie, global capitalism does have its good side. It's broken down barriers - the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union - it's raised a lot of people up economically, and for architects, it has meant that we can work around the world.
Richard Rogers
Architecture is a living thing. If I want to leave something to the future, it has to be able to change - but retain something of the ethos that we built up over 50 years.
Richard Rogers
Cities are about juxtaposition. In Florence, classical buildings sit against medieval buildings. It's that contrast we like. In Bordeaux, we built law courts right next door to what is effectively a listed historic building, and that makes it exciting.
Richard Rogers
My mother was very family-oriented. And I do love being with my children.
Richard Rogers
In Florence, classical buildings sit against medieval buildings. It's that contrast we like.
Richard Rogers
Architecture is a slow business, and city planning even slower.
Richard Rogers
I don't believe in the ownership of work.
Richard Rogers
My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people.
Richard Rogers
Cities are about juxtaposition.
Richard Rogers
When I started out, nearly every architect I knew was working in public practice; that's where the radical thinking was done. But, there's always a danger of looking back as our fathers did and saying, 'Things were better then.'
Richard Rogers
Suburban sprawl leads to social atomisation and fragmentation and is environmentally disastrous, as carbon-intensive car journeys displace local shops and replace public transport.
