“I think I have said enough.”

“C.P. Office sees its particular product (buildings) as the readily recognisable parts of its continuous design process.”

“Architecture is too slow in its realisation to be a 'problem solver'.”

“...the Office's prime approach to architecture... is one of continuous ANTICIPATORY DESIGN.”

“Architecture should have little to do with problem solving - rather it should create desirable conditions and opportunities hitherto thought impossible.”

“Like medicine (architecture) must move from the curative to the preventive.”

“Architecture must concern itself continually with the socially beneficial distortion of the environment.”

“A greater awareness in architects and planners of their real value to society could, at the present, result in that rare occurrence, namely, the improvement of the quality of life as a result of architectural endeavour.”

“...architects (should) involve themselves continuously in anticipatory design as recommended by Buckminster Fuller”
