The heart, not the head, must be the guide.

Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.

After 1980, you never heard reference to space again. Surface, the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism, became the focus of design. Space disappeared.

We are yet to have a conscience at all about the exploitation of human cultures.

We are stymied by regulations, limited choice and the threat of litigation. Neither consultants nor industry itself provide research which takes architecture forward.

Roman civilization had achieved, within the bounds of its technology, relatively as great a mastery of time and space as we have achieved today.
