![“For me [ Giovanni Lorenzo ] Bernini, [Francesco ] Borromini, and [Donato] Bramante have been as significant as Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Louis Kahn. I still marvel at their works, which have a quality and a timelessness that I seek to have in our projects.” quote by Richard Meier](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ca4/richard-meier-23489_bernini_for-me-giovanni-lorenzo-bernini-francesc_511305.jpg)
