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

Tension is an interesting quality - and architecture must have it. There should be elements of the inexplicable, the mysterious, and the poetic in something that is perfectly rational.

The secret of good architecture is having more than meets the eye.

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

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

When everything is perfectly orderly and understandable, there has to be one thing that puts everything into question.

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.
