Michael Graves was an American architect known for his postmodern designs and his work in reinterpreting classical architectural forms. His notable projects include the Portland Building and the Denver Public Library. Graves' approach to architecture, characterized by its playful and often whimsical elements, has had a significant impact on contemporary design.
"In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function."
"I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention."
"The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth."
