Frank Lloyd Wright Design Quotations

The architect should strive continually to simplify; the ensemble of the rooms should then be carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty.

Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity.

Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

The two most important tools an architect has are the eraser in the drawing room and the sledge hammer on the construction site.

We have no longer an outside and an inside as two separate things. Now the outside may come inside and the inside may and does go outside. They are of each other. Form and function thus become one in design and execution if the nature of materials and method and purpose are all in unison.

The tall modern office building is the machine pure and simple...the engine, the motor and the battleship the works of the century.

I never design a building before I've seen the site and met the people who will be using it.

You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledge hammer on the construction site.
