Michael Graves

“In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.”

“I don't believe in morality in architecture.”

“I have no requirements for a style of architecture.”

“I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.”

“The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.”

“It was always my goal to 'up the ante' on good design and rye devoted much of my career to this.”
