Architecture exists, like cinema, in the dimension of time and movement

My buildings are more famous than me.

I generally hate the luxury modern apartment with too many things out of sight and so clean you cannot touch.

It is not possible to design always the same. How to be different in each different place - that is the most important work and duty of the architect to find out.

The best engineer a few decades ago was someone who could create the most beautiful beam or structure; today it's to do a structure you cannot see or understand how it's done. It disappears and you can talk only about color, symbols, and light. It's an aesthetic of miracle.

Art should be created for life, not for the museum

Space, space: architects always talk about space! But creating a space is not automatically doing architecture. With the same space, you can make a masterpiece or cause a disaster.
