For me, drawing generates thinking and vice versa.

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

A building is hard to judge. It takes many years to find out whether it works. It's not as simple as asking the people in the office whether they like it.

For me, drawing generates thinking and vice versa.

German and English firms operate internationally, while French firms do not. The only place where they all have work is in China. Anybody can sell himself in China!

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?

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