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

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.

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

For me, drawing generates thinking and vice versa.

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

Higher ceilings allow the use indirect lighting, which is much healthier and reduces glare.

In Europe, architects consider themselves artists. They think they're special when they win a competition.
