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

Generally people are more impressed with the services and the comfort issues than the design.

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

What I have learned about museum buildings is that buildings have to have iconic presentations. The position of the art museum vis-a-vis other civic buildings needs to be hierarchal in the community. It has to be equal to the library and the courthouse.

The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.

The back of Saint Peter's is one of the finest pieces of architecture I've ever seen.

Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.
