The obsession was so real and so prolonged. Sleeping was kind of like taking breaks from continuing the obsession.

Architecture, in itself, at the end of the day, is a rational profession.

Morphology happens over time. It's not necessarily a bad thing.

I see architecture as a form of communication over time.

Every time I traveled to a new city, I would learn about local heroes I did not know about, and I would learn about their very impressive contribution to their cities.

The diagram of the house is a portrait of the family, a true portrait, whether it's sad or happy.

I recently wrote a piece on comics in architecture - I was talking about the three kinds of comics I pay attention to: the Franco-Belgian, the Japanese manga, and the American comics. I started thinking about the relationship between Japanese manga and Japanese architecture, or Franco-Belgian bande dessinée versus Franco-Belgian architecture, it began to make sense; there are parallels to the modes of operations and the cultures they belong to. If I didn't force myself to write, I would have no forum to clarify these thoughts. Writing is really helpful.
