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
Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future. -Richard Rogers Architecture

Suburban sprawl leads to social atomisation and fragmentation and is environmentally disastrous, as carbon-intensive car journeys displace local shops and replace public transport. -Richard Rogers Car
My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people. -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
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
Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future. -Richard Rogers Future
Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know. -Richard Rogers Architecture
