- I call architecture frozen music.

- Parker Stevenson on Architecture
- I could have been an architect, but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see.

- I left science, then I went into art, but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them.
- Maya Lin on Architecture
- I like things that are kind of eclectic, when one thing doesn't go with another. That's why I love Rome. The town itself is that way. It's where Fascist architecture meets classic Renaissance, where the ancient bangs up against the contemporary. It has a touch of everything. That's my style, and that's what my work is about.

- Bob Dylan on Architecture
- I probably spent the first 20 years of my life wanting to be as American as possible. Through my 20s, and into my 30s, I began to become aware of how so much of my art and architecture has a decidedly Eastern character.
- Maya Lin on Architecture
- I quit college. I was studying architecture for about a year.

- Michael Graves on Architecture
- I see music as fluid architecture.
- Joni Mitchell on Architecture
- I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design, and our proposal won the competition.

- Ai Weiwei on Architecture
- I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.

- Art Garfunkel on Architecture
- I was going to be an architect. I graduated with a degree in architecture and I had a scholarship to go back to Princeton and get my Masters in architecture. I'd done theatricals in college, but I'd done them because it was fun.
- James Stewart on Architecture
- I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead.
- Gilbert K. Chesterton on Architecture
- I went to school for engineering, I studied jazz. So I always had this kind of creative side and technical side, and I thought architecture might be the way to combine them, so I went to architecture school in New York.

- Catherine Deneuve on Architecture
- I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.

- Thom Mayne on Architecture
