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 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.

It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?

I think the younger generation, the people poised to dominate the workforce, are more socially conscious. They are more demanding in terms of environment and how that environment contributes to their life.

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

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

Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.
