Das Wirklichkeit der Architektur ist nicht di gebaute Architektur. Eine Architektur bildet ausserhalb dieser Zustandsform von gebaut/nicht gebaut eine eigene Wirklichkeit, vergleichbar der autonomen Wirklichkeit eines Bildes oder einer Skulptur. Die Wirklichkeit, die wir meinen, ist also nicht das real Gebaute, das Taktile, das Materielle. Wir lieben zwar dieses Greifbare, aber nur in einem Zusammenhang innerhalb des ganzen (Architektur-) Werks. Wir lieben seine geistige Qualität, seinen immateriellen Wert.
[The reality of architecture is not built architecture. Outside of this state of built / not built, architecture forms its own reality, comparable to the autonomous reality of a picture or a sculpture. The reality that we mean is therefore not what is actually built, the tactile, the material. We love what is tangible, but only in a context within the entire (architectural) work. We love its spiritual quality, its intangible value.]
Herzog & de Meuron: Architektur Denkform (Architekturmuseum in Basel, 1988), text on the back cover.

The book has German text; the images are black-and-white photos and architectural drawings.
