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

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

I'm inspired by a lot of stuff. I always was interested in sculpture and painting and music and literature and all those things. There's no one thing.

The fact is I'm an opportunist. I'll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I'm searching for an idea that works.

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

If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.

We deny our nature to build and create and then wonder why there is so much alienation and dissatisfaction.
