Gregory Burgess:
"When architecture is often a profession
of style and power and glamour and money, then values can often get
moved to the side very conveniently and very quickly."
Barrie Marshall:
"Whilst we have a social responsibility to
do the right thing by city, society, whatever... we aren’t really by
inclination or in fact in the position to do an awful lot about it."
Richard Leplastrier:
"If we make a banal place to live,
then it says a lot about us. If we make a beautiful place to live, for
our city and our families to come that also says something about us, and
it’s up to us as a sort of community at large I think."
Barrie Marshall:
"We’re not trained to know whether its
right to put people in a high rise block of apartments or a low rise, a
low rise residential development."
Howard Raggatt:
"When it gets down to providing housing for
people in the Housing Commission, I think to give them a bit of style is
actually one of the best things you could give them. I mean probably the
rich don’t really need style."
Phillip Cox:
"Architecture is foisted on the public whether
they like it or not. They have to live with it good or bad but the
process of developing an architecture is quite different."
Elizabeth Farrelly, :
"With
public space, you’ve got to have people on board, you’ve got to persuade
them, cajole them, or, and even listen to what people want."
Paul Keating:
"I wanted to know that the Commonwealth, we,
the Commonwealth were going to get value for money."
Peter Davidson:
"We are trying to make a space of
possibility. I think for too long architects have tried to describe what
the future would be rather than simply make a design that allows for
possibility into the future."
Karl Fender:
"I think good architecture stimulates people,
it’s an architecture that makes people react, it’s an architecture that
captivates people and engages people and makes contact with people. They
may not like it, they may hate it, but at least it engages them and
stimulates their thoughts about that particular building and maybe
buildings in the broader context and the urban design in the broader
context."
Kim Crestani:
"Architects need to take responsibility for
what they do across all levels and they have to be proud of everything
that they do when they drive past it. We must come of age to say 'we
will guide the developers and we will guide those people who put their
money up to give them a really good solution to the problems or to what
they're trying to create'."
