"No person who is not a great sculptor
or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter,
he can only be a builder."
John Ruskin (1819-1900), British writer, art critic. Lectures on Architecture and Painting, no. 61 (1853), which is found in his Modern Painters (5 volumes, 1843-1860, epilogue, 1888). See art critic.
"The physician can bury his mistakes,
but the architect can only advise his client to plant vines.
Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867-1959), quoted in the New
York Times, October 4, 1953.
"My definition of Architect: arch = chief or highest (i.e. archbishop, archetype = Master)
+ tect = technique, technology (i.e. the Know-How)
=
Architect: Master of the Know-How!"
Frank Lloyd Wright.
architect
- Among those in art careers, a
person who designs and draws
plans, elevations,
and cross-sections of buildings
and other environmental features. Many architects produce models, collaborate
with engineers, construction personnel, and other artists.
