A building is hard to judge. It takes many years to find out whether it works. It's not as simple as asking the people in the office whether they like it.

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

Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.

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

You don't know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don't talk to you. There's very little interaction.

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

America has always imported history.
