With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.

There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.

There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.

Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.

Creativity is about play and a kind of willingness to go with your intuition. It's crucial to an artist. If you know where you are going and what you are going to do, why do it? I think I learned that from the artists, from my grandmother, from all the creative people I've spent time with over the years.

If I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don't do it.

And I realized, when I'd come in to the meetings with these corrugated metal and chain link stuff, and people would just look at me like I'd just landed from Mars. But I couldn't do anything else. That was my response to the people and the time.
