If a dictator takes up my ideas, the resulting town will survive the political system that commissioned it and stand as a social good. Besides, modernism rather than classicism has dominated the architecture of totalitarian regimes of both the left and right. - Leon Krier 1 Share Now -

You need a prince to make a town in an intellectual sense. Developers want to make money. If they cared about architecture, they'd become architects. I've had so many projects that never came off because they had no sponsor, and not because they were utopian. I just want to build a town that's normal. - Leon Krier 4 Share Now -
The more you densify a city, the more congestion will increase, however technology changes... cities so packed that they will no longer function... vertical sprawl. - Leon Krier 5 Share Now -
