Olson Kundig
- Architecture is the intersection between the poetic and the rational
- Contradictory objectives; open to environment, yet closed to create privacy
- A space is not constrained by area inside the building, a space is shaped by it
- Architecture is a movement and it transforms its surroundings
- References homes as primitive places
- Architecture must be as intimate as a family member
Buckminster Fuller
- There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you its going to be a butterfly
- Love is metaphysical gravity
- Ideals of ephemeralisation; "doing more and more with less and less until you can do everything with nothing”
- Simplicity is the true measure of complexity
- Reorganising the environment for prosperity
- "Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment."
