Transparency is not the same as looking straight through a building: it's not just a physical idea, it's also an intellectual one.

I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.

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

When I came to America in the '60s, it was the place to be. I wonder if I'd come here today.

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.

Critics are entitled to have an opinion, but how can they judge how comfortable a building is? No critic is smart enough to judge how a building will perform over time.

America has always imported history.
