A good engineer thinks in reverse and asks himself about the stylistic consequences of the components and systems he proposes.

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

I wanted to improve the suburban office building; to create a great urban space in a suburban environment with all that implies about interaction, collaboration and creativity.

Creativity has more to do with the elimination of the inessential than with inventing something new.

For me, drawing generates thinking and vice versa.

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

A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive.
