"We have written a lot about an architecture of meaning rather of expression--that is, an architecture that depends on symbolic form rather than abstract form; also we are suspicious of trying to too literally apply the methods of linguistics to architecture. We feel at home discussing symbolism and vocabulary as a system of symbols or ornament."

"We are not doing ordinary. What we are doing is using the ordinary and heightening it, making art out of it. This is a way of enriching everyday life. What we do is not ordinary after we are finished with it. It involves making the ordinary extraordinary by giving it a new context--often also a new scale and slightly modified proportions. Yet it is not ordinary after we are finished with it."

"We all love old stone buildings and their ornament. Because we love them and respect them does not mean we should try to replicate them."
Quotations: Robert Venturi from an interview with Peter Eisenman in Skyline (New York: The Institute of Architecture and Urban Studies), July, 1982.
