You cannot just quote from history and above all you cannot take it out of context, in however humorous a fashion . On the contrary history has a natural continuity which must be respected

Architecture must make connections

I think the future of architecture does not lie so much in continuing to fill up the landscape, as in bringing back life and order to our cities and towns.

New buildings should fit naturally into their surroundings, both architecturally and historically, without denying or prettifying the concerns of our time

A building is a human being's space and the background for his dignity and its exterior should reflect its contents and function

I use different kinds of materials on different kinds of projects. Today we can do things with steel and glass that we could not do before. flexible enough to change.

Streamlined time details are especially important, because by having to take a close look, we discover new things. Because of this, details will remain part of the building in the mind's eye
