"Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture. Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world"
- Frank Lloyd Wright
About this Quote
This quote by Frank Lloyd Wright highlights his idea that excellent architecture can bring about a lot more efficient and also reliable government operations. The suggestion is that if structures are made well as well as work efficiently, it sets an example for just how other systems (such as federal government) can operate far better too.
The second part of the quote particularly describes Chicago, a city where Wright lived and also helped much of his occupation. He thought that Chicago had the potential to end up being one of the most attractive city on the planet, many thanks partly to its abundant architectural heritage as well as the potential for brand-new, innovative designs.
On the whole, this quote reflects Wright's enthusiasm for design as well as his belief in the transformative power of style. He saw structures not just as useful structures, but as artworks that can form and also improve the globe around them.
"To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization"
"Having soon discovered to be great, I must appear so, and therefore studiously avoided mixing in society, and wrapped myself in mystery, devoting my time to fasting and prayer"
