Following are some favorite Lina Bo Bardi quotes:

Architects must be deeply connected with living, for it is everything.



I was not looking for prettiness...I looked for freedom.



It is necessary to consider the past as a historical present, still alive, a present that helps us avoid traps (and) forge another 'true' present.



That which still exists today and has not perished represents the historical present; that which we have to save -or instead, preserve- is a set of features that are typical to a time period but still belong to humankind.



Children's play is a serious thing.



Architecture needs life to fulfill its purpose.

~ Lina Bo Bardi
