Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.

America has always imported history.

The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.

We prefer synthetic rather than natural materials. Natural products are almost too valuable. Wood is much harder to produce than metal. And metal is recyclable, while wood isn't.

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

Sometimes I have to accept a job I don't really want. Hardly anybody comes up to you with a commission; it's all competitions these days.

The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity, especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples, no ambitions.
