I hate the word starchitect. Stuff like that comes from mean-spirited, untalented journalists. It's demeaning.

China is building cities for a 20 to 40 percent increase in population. India is quickly growing. The carbon footprints of that and other development around the world are overwhelming.

People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.

Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction. Everybody’s an artist. Unfortunately we don’t treat them as such.

An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.

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

A new idea is obsolete in seconds, right? I just said it and now it's obsolete.
