I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.

I would like to make a building as intellectually driven as it is sculptural and as positive as it would be acceptable to hope.

We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that. Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable. People say, "This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me."

The whole can be greater than the sum of it's parts, that we all have something to put in the pie to make it better, and that the collaborative interaction works.

Some people may say my curved panels look like sails. Well, I am a sailor, so I guess I probably do use that metaphor in my work - though not consciously.

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

It's not elitist to acknowledge that everyone has a unique signature and everyone is different.
