~KES, I love this comment. I remember when I first heard it and it stayed in my mind; and who said it—all of 35 years ago!!! In a little town in India called Amritsar.

“I call architecture frozen music” is how the quote is stated in The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Quotations (1992), from Peter Eckermann’s Conversations With Goethe.

Even earlier than Goethe, Friedrich von Schelling said ”[Architecture] is music in space, as it were a frozen music.”
