Quote: John Pawson, Minimum
"The minimum could be defined as the perfection that an artefact achieves when it is no longer possible to improve it by subtraction. This is the quality that an object has when every component, every detail, and every junction has been reduced or condensed to the essentials. it is the result of the omission of the inessentials."

Tom Finkelpearl: Interview with Vito Acconci on Art, Architecture, Arvada, and StoreFront
"We try to provide a mix: a space, say, for a large group of people, for an orgy or a revolution, and, at the same time but off to the side, a space for face-to-face contact, where two people might feel each other out as they feel each other up, and, at the same time but around the corner, a single-person seat for a potential suicide, or for a serial murderer looking others over from afar…" - Vito Acconci
Louis Kahn: Quote
"I don't believe in need as a force at all. Need is a current, everyday affair. But desire - that is something else again. Desire is the forerunner of a new need. It is the yet not stated, the yet not made which motivates." - Louis Kahn
