Many people put a green button on their collar and feel good, just like a lot of people put an American flag on their lapels and feel patriotic. It's not enough.I'm not dismissing it.

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

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

It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it. Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.

People live and work in uninspiring environments, but look inside those rooms. Look at the painted walls and the decorations. People rebel even in the most controlled office environment in which they're not allowed to do anything. You see the little bulletin board in front of a person's desk with their photos, clippings, cartoons and whatever else.

I don't make things with my hands, although I studied woodworking and made furniture.

There is stuff I would have liked to have done. But there are no sour grapes.
