Page 2 of 2Arne Jacobsen
February 11, 1902 - March 24, 1971
Nationality: Danish
Category: Architect
|  The primary factor is proportions. | | If a building becomes architecture, then it is art. | | In addressing a task, one almost always has several possible options, sometimes only a few, and they may all be practical and functional. But they lack the aesthetic aspect that raises it to architecture. | | I am going to be working on bathroom fittings for a company in the USA, and then I thought it was appropriate to simplify the fittings and, thus, lowering the cost. | | I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly. | | But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago. |
