When sustainability is viewed as being a matter of survival for your business, I believe you can create massive change.

Success will only happen with Afghans leading the charge, and it is far, far more important for Kabul to create and support a purpose-driven school of architecture than to invite a high profile designer to build.

If you focus on design, you can call yourself a designer. If you focus on the implementation of your design, you can call yourself an architect.

A career is a job you love, right? That's what a career should be. If you're in a job that you hate, you should quit. That's the way I look at it. I'm in a job that I love so I'm going to make it my career.

The Internet has created an incredible democratization of the architecture industry.

Families want their child to get an education; families want safe access to healthcare; families want a roof over their head. When we silo issues, we end up with solutions that are in conflict with each other.

For me, I think the most exciting thing in architecture is the re-emergence of the locally-focused architect.
