Look, architecture has a lot of places to hide behind, a lot of excuses. "The client made me do this." "The city made me do this." "Oh, the budget." I don't believe that anymore.

Frank GehryI do my best to choose carefully. If I donโt feel that collaboration is going to happen, I say no. Think about it. These projects can involve a five-to-seven-year partnership. If you donโt feel comfortable with someone, you canโt get rid of them. I just walked away from a job for that reason. Every one of these projects is an emotional investment, like falling in love. Youโve got to believe in it and youโve got to like the people you work with.
