1. “All architecture is what you do to it when you look upon it, / (Did you think it was in the white or gray stone? or the lines of / the arches and cornices?) / All music is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments, / It is not the violins and the cornets, it is not the oboe nor the / beating drums, nor the score of the baritone singer singing his / sweet romanza, nor that of the men’s chorus, nor that of the / women’s chorus, / It is nearer and farther than they”.

2. “[…] El pájaro hizo caer el huevo; el huevo hizo caer el nido; el nido hizo caer la jaula; la jaula hizo caer el tapete; el tapete hizo caer la mesa; la mesa hizo caer la habitación; la habitación hizo caer la escalera; la escalera hizo caer la casa; la casa hizo caer la calle; la calle hizo caer la ciudad de París. […] ¿Sabemos ver lo que es importante? ¿Hay algo que nos llame la atención? Nada nos llama la atención. No sabemos ver. […] del movimiento: Nos cuesta mucho cambiar, aunque sólo fuera cambiar los muebles de sitio. Mudarse supone toda una historia. Nos quedamos en el mismo barrio, y si cambiamos lo lamentamos. […]”

3. “[…] ​the Fun Palace was “the first of many projects that supported Cedric Price’s idea that architecture should not determine human behaviour but rather enable possibility”.

4. “No se trata de dotar a las palabras de varios sentidos, sino de hacerlas trabajar, saturándolas, hasta la disolución de su sentido común.”
– Alcantud, Victoriano. “El ‘bajo Materialismo’ De Georges Bataille.” Laberinto. 2005. Web. 18 Oct. 2015. .

5. “An architect does not ‘create’ a city, only an accumulation of objects. It is the inhabitant who ‘invents’ the city: an uninhabitated city, even if new, is only a ‘ruin’ […] As the ‘user’ is not necessarily at the same technical level as the master builder or the planner, what he needs is the possibility to apply a ‘trial and error’ technique. […] It is difficult to reach this goal. It involves finding the preexistent components, the evaluation of possible combinations, and – particularly important – the visualization of possible results. Decisions are left for the artist-spectator (user).”
– Friedman, Yona. Pro Domo. Barcelona: Actar, 2006. Impreso.

6. “Kon’s implicit idea was that the ‘designed’ space says little about those who live there; it’s objects – slippers, trash, utensils, chipped bowls, tools are strewn across these sketches – instead, that are more telling of people’s economic and cultural life.”
– Komal, Sharma. “Kon Wajiro, and the Objects of Everyday Life.” Metropolis Magazine. Web. 17 Oct. 2015. .
