In Europe, architects consider themselves artists. They think they're special when they win a competition.

America has always imported history.

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

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

Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.
