"Architects are mostly self-centered and their buildings express……" — Jacque Fresco
"Architects are mostly self-centered and their buildings express their ego. Â [They are] not social buildings to make it more comfortable for people - to make life better for people. Â The cities have to be designed so people can get together and talk with one another."
