One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Liquid architecture. It's like jazz - you improvise, you work together, you play off each other, you make something, they make something. And I think it's a way of - for me, it's a way of trying to understand the city, and what might happen in the city.

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

One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

It's a metaphor for what we're being told: "Just stay in the box, kid, don't muddy the water." Parents say it to their kids. Teachers say it. Schools do. And so people become immune to the sameness.

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