New ideas often need old buildings.

The notion that you could discard the old world and now make a new one. This is what was so bad about Modernism.

Designing a dream city is easy; rebuilding a living one takes imagination.

Just the way in Europe, Paris, Copenhagen, and Stockholm, and Frankfurt, possibly and Berlin, certainly, all had important roles, because of independence. Because they were depending on themselves.

I think it is fatal to specialize. And all kinds of things show us that and that the more diverse we are in what we can do, the better.

I am not any hate-America person. I really came here for positive reasons.

The point of cities is multiplicity of choice.
