Quote on Architecture by Thom Mayne
Previous Quote
"I fought violently for the autonomy of architecture. It's a very passive, weak profession where people deliver a service. You want a blue door, you get a blue door. You want it to look neo-Spanish, you get neo-Spanish. Architecture with any authenticity represents resistance. Resistance is a good thing."

"I think all good architecture should challenge you, make you start asking questions. You don't have to understand it. You may not like it. That's OK."
