"I believe Architecture is art, of course. It’s art, but it’s not sculpture because it’s made for making service to something else.
Architecture is art that you do to shelter something else—a house, a family, a museum, a concert hall. There is always that service. Now, there are different ways to do this. One way is just functional, but I don’t think this is enough because architecture is not just the art of making buildings; it is also the art of telling stories, like other art. It is an art of expression. So one way to make architecture is giving strength to the functional aspect. Another one is, without forgetting the functional aspect, to give strength to poetry, to emotion and poetry. This is where the difference is very subtle."

"Architect Henry B. Hoover, who designed several dozen houses in and around Lincoln, was so unpretentious that when someone asked him to define modernist architecture, he would often say it included any house with interior plumbing."
