Almost every time I make a building, some people will condemn it straight to Hell.

I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.

People buy a chair, and they don't really care who designed it.

And when an architect has designed a house with large windows, which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses, then curtains come to play a big role in architecture.

I have no philosophy, my favourite thing is sitting in the studio.

But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago.

In a way, the sense of quality has improved, the status symbol of the small things is gone, and it is acceptable to use stainless steel, even if the neighbour uses silver.
