I've never looked at a suburban building as being a minor building and an urban building as being a major building.

Chinese buildings are like American buildings, with big footprints. People don't care about daylight or fresh air.

Sometimes I have to accept a job I don't really want. Hardly anybody comes up to you with a commission; it's all competitions these days.

I find if my body feels well and I exercise regularly, I think better, work better and feel better.

We are creating a unique experience. It's starts with how you see the building from a distance.
