I never said I was opposed to the LEED program or to green building - I'm not.

I am just relating to the world we live in. I see some order in it, even though it looks like mush.

Generally in our world, whether in architecture or almost anywhere else, we devalue the artist, and schools at whatever level shut people down.

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

Democracy is a problem and we don't want to get rid of it.

Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.

Green issues have been used as a marketing tool. Sometimes these green claims are completely meaningless.
