Be Truthful. Nature Only Sides With Truth.

The Room Has To Be Comfortable; The House Has To Look Habitable.

Changes In The Traditional Way Of Building Are Only Permitted If They Are An Improvement. Otherwise Stay With What Is Traditional, For Truth, Even If It Be Hundreds Of Years Old Has A Stronger Inner Bond With Us Than The Lie That Walks By Our Side.

Be Truthful. Nature Only Sides With Truth.

Architecture Arouses Sentiments In Man. The Architect's Task Therefore, Is To Make Those Sentiments More Precise.

The Work Of Art Is Brought Into The World Without There Being A Need For It. The House Satisfies A Requirement. The Work Of Art Is Responsible To None; The House Is Responsible To Everyone. The Work Of Art Wants To Draw People Out Of Their State Of Comfort.
