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

If there was a fire at my house I would throw more things on it. The only thing I would take out? Myself!

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.

Each new situation requires a new architecture.

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

The task of the architect is to encompass everything about the site, starting from the concrete conditions and the sensory impressions created by those, to memories of the place, through empathy to vision.

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.
