Quotes by John Portman

• We must learn to understand humanity better so that we can create an environment that is more beneficial to people, more rewarding, more pleasant to experience.
• It is through accomplishment that man makes his contribution and contribution is life's greatest reward.
• Buildings should serve people, not the other way around.
• Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.
