Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.

Most of our cities built since the war are bland. They're modernist, they're cold, and now architects want to go back to that.

I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.

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

It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.

Everything - design and technology and materials - has changed since the World Trade Center was built. A lot of it has to do with computers, which allow us to be far more efficient as well as structurally sound.

If you're serious about being an architect, you've got to learn how to take responsibility.
