Quote by Daniel Libeskind

Winning a competition in architecture is a ticket to oblivion. It's just an idea. Ninety-nine per cent never get built.

Winning a competition in architecture is a ticket to oblivio

Summary

This quote suggests that winning a competition in architecture does not guarantee the realization of one's design. Instead, it is merely an abstract concept or an initial vision. The quote implies that the majority of winning designs in architecture competitions ultimately remain unrealized, with only a small fraction actually being constructed. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the challenging, unpredictable nature of the architectural profession, where success in competitions does not necessarily translate into actual built projects.
