When I think of some of my earlier work, it really seems a fortunate coincidence that I succeeded.

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.

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

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.

Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.

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.
