Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future. -Richard Rogers Architecture
I believe very strongly, and have fought since many years ago - at least over 30 years ago - to get architecture not just within schools, but architecture talked about under history, geography, science, technology, art. -Richard Rogers Architecture
Architecture is a living thing. If I want to leave something to the future, it has to be able to change - but retain something of the ethos that we built up over 50 years. -Richard Rogers Architecture

My architecture tends to be legible, light and flexible. You can read it. You look at a building, and you can see how it is constructed. I put the structure outside. -Richard Rogers Architecture
The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved. -Richard Rogers Environmental
Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know. -Richard Rogers Architecture
Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future. -Richard Rogers Future
You have to modernise; you have to change - you can't just be traditional for the fun of being traditional. -Richard Rogers Change
