Daniel Burnham, Architect

Daniel Burnham, architect of the Burnham Center at 28 N. Clark in Chicago -- Flashpoint Academy's main campus (the building was completed in 1915 -- our new state-of-the-art digital arts and sciences campus construction is being completed now, in 2007, 92 years later) -- is quoted as saying:

"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will not themselves be realized."

That Burnham quote is one of my favorites. As a student of architecture i found it early and it has guided me since.
The other one is by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe where he calls architecture "frozen music". Whenever i walk through a nice building it's like walking across a music staff. Frank Lloyd Wright is totally Tortoise.
