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

Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.

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

For me, drawing generates thinking and vice versa.

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

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.

You'd never think of taking a cab if you had to walk a mile down Chicago's Michigan Avenue. But in a bad city you take a cab just to go around the corner.
