	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: RICHARD MEIER A MODERN ARCHITECT
		Meier reminded the audience that a building does not have to fit into the landscape or be camouflaged by it to address the presence and spatial dictates of nature.
		Richard Meier's design is, admittedly, a drastic departure from that of the traditional Gothic Cathedral which had previously served a similar unifying purpose, but his building acknowledges this issue by referring to the cathedral in his own work.
		Richard Meier's talk was both a benefit to those who idolize him and got to hear his personal views on his work, and to those who were previously ignorant of him and were provided with a concise and thorough history.

		Richard Meier’s favorite color is white -- the pristine noncolor, or the distillation of all color.
		Whether small or grand in scale, Meier’s structures suggest space itself and the monochromic use of white and the complex geometric patterning creates an overall appearance that is hyper-clean and high-tech.
		In his acceptance speech, Meier said that his architectural aim is to address both "the timeless and the topical," using himself as the aesthetic filter.

	WNYC - Mad About Music: Richard Meier (October 06, 2002)
		Meier: I remember when I first heard West Side Story, I was extremely moved by it and I think what moved me at the time was the poignancy of the story and the relationship between the music and the story, which I felt, was overwhelming.
		Meier: We have one at the present time and the entire three stories of the apartment are wired with sound to come in every space - it's going to be quite a phenomenal experience because as you move through the apartment from one level to another the same intensity of music will exist.
		Meier in 1992 as a Commander of Arts and Letters, and in 1995, he was elected Fellow to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

	CSISS Classics - Richard Meier: Communications Theory of Urban Growth, 1961.
		Richard Meier's pioneering 1961 book, A Communications Theory of Urban Growth, while not a theoretically definitive work, was the first important work recognizing the importance of communications functions and networks in the spatial development and sustenance of urban areas.
		Meier contended that communications, and its relationship with knowledge and controls, "seemed to be highly correlated with the growth of cities." He was not suggesting that communications were more important than economic factors, but that they were at the root of the process which made economic growth possible.
		Meier believed that for urban areas to function well as centers of face-to-face or telephone communication, the communications overload, or stress, must be kept under control so that mere satisficing or even breakdown occurs.

		Meier is a dedicated, experienced, professional, productive architect who has developed his own aesthetic, his own expression of purity of form.
		When Meier first strolled through the administrative offices of the Getty after those lowly museum employees had settled in to their offices, he took a brief look around, turned white and crisp, and exploded.
		Richard Meier is unsympathetic to users' need for the smallest bit of personal expression (or territorial dominance if you want to say it that way).

		At 58, Richard Meier is not the fresh-faced new architect of the moment, whose startling forms, revolutionary materials, and bold ideas are blazing the way for a vacuum-packed City of Tomorrow.
		In this context, Meier's buildings are a testament to the future of the city, one where buildings and public places have an inviting, purposeful scale relationship with one another and with the people who use them.
		Meier, however, has continued to refine the modernist tradition, adapting technology not as a miraculous universal solution, but as a tool for solving a variety of problems.

		Much less is said about Meier's other uses of travertine: the way it projects unexpectedly from the wall of an interior hallway, or emerges as strange, floating benches of stone in a sea of smooth marble.
		Later Meier used the metaphors of a university campus, a monastery or a cathedral.
		Instead, Meier's impossible pavilion of stone inspires some of the wonder Procopius must have felt about the cathedral dome of Hagia Sophia, which he said hung in the air so lightly that it seemed suspended from heaven by a golden chain.

	Richard Meier shares insights with students
		Meier, who is perhaps best known as the designer of the Getty Center in Los Angeles, was relaxed and candid as he talked in a Sibley Hall classroom March 4, 5 and 6 with the students -- a mix of undergraduates in their fifth year of B.Arch.
		Dressed casually in a fl cashmere sweater and charcoal gray slacks, Meier answered questions ranging from his response to the winning design for Cornell's soon-to-be-built architecture building (the design, by Steven Holl Architects, was his first choice, he said) to his reaction to the Getty's landscaping (he dislikes it).
		In the Smith house [a house Meier designed in Florida] it helps reflect and refract [the landscape that surrounds the building and makes it] a part of the outside.

		The Church of the Year 2000 is signature Meier, with its dramatic profile consisting of three curved shells in the architect's trademark white, which, he says, remind him of sails.
		Meier began buying wines as an investment in the 1970s, "but soon," he recalls, "it became clear I was buying them for me." A well-timed interest in Bordeaux allowed him to acquire cases of the stellar 1982 vintage when mere mortals could still afford them.
