One of the things I've always loved about New York is there is so much precedent for ornament on industrial buildings.

What I do isn't radical. It's just distinct in small ways.

I never like things that don't look nice. It's really that simple.

I was brought up to reuse things.

I think when you look at architectural photography it doesn't help to have piles of old clothes lying on the floor. Architectural photography sets up an artifice.

To me, the nicest luxury would be to have a room where I could keep all my books in one place - and have space for more.

Architecture is about aging well, about precision and authenticity. There is much more to the success of a building than what you can see. Im not suggesting that gestural architecture is always superficial, but solid reasoning has its place.
