Architecture is politics.

Summary

This quote suggests that architecture is not just about designing buildings and spaces, but also about influencing and reflecting the values, ideologies, and power dynamics within a society. It implies that architectural choices and aesthetics can contribute to the formation of social, cultural, and political identities, making architecture inherently political. The design and arrangement of buildings can shape how people interact, exert control, and express power, thus influencing the dynamics and functions of a community or society as a whole.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further brotherhoold of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

William J.H. Boetcker
