If there’s anything architects like doing more than designing buildings, it is talking about architecture. Whether musing about their inspirations (a blank sheet of paper, the sun hitting the side of a building), expanding on each and every other’s 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 a couple of hundred of history’s most opinionated design minds. Paired on page spreads like guests at a cocktail party-an architect of today might take a seat next to a latest or somebody from the eighteenth century-these sets of quotes convey a remarkable depth and diversity of thinking. Alternately wise and amusing, this elegant gem of a book makes the very best gift for architects, students, and any person curious about the ideas and personalities that have assisted in shaping our built world.
