I think the biggest problem with 'industrial' architecture is that it's lost its sense of humanity. Minimalist stuff drains all the humanity out of it. That idea works great for the money thing, but it doesn't work great for the feeling thing.

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

Erich Mendelsohn's drawings are expressive and beautiful. If he'd had the computers we have now, everything I've done he would have done before me. I would have had to figure out something else.

We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.

Generally people are more impressed with the services and the comfort issues than the design.

Ultimately you can't repress individuality, even though you can try.

I found the material that people hated the most and used the most. So, I was going and try and see if I could play with it sculpturally.
