My guitar was a loyal person to me.
The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.
My favorite project is always the next one.
If I have a style, I am not aware of it.
Architecture is not all about the design of the building and nothing else, it is also about the cultural setting and the ambience, the whole affair.
I once got a postcard from a French poet who wrote - "you don't know me but I'm always very grumpy when I get up in morning. But when I get up now I put the tea kettle on, and when it starts to sing it makes me smile - goddamn you!" That's what happened when we first designed it - we got a lot of mail.
In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.
The more positive you are when you think and work toward your goals, the faster you achieve them.
As soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken and written word.
We see light, not dark. But it is in the dark that we feel goblins and ghosts.
Everybody has their idiosyncrasies.
