Select Arne Jacobsen Quotations

Arne Jacobsen
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen
That is the artistic task: To choose the best from these solutions.
Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen
If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.
Arne Jacobsen
But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago.
