Nevertheless, the basic forms, spaces, and appearances must be logical

We live in a world where great incompatibles co-exist: the human scale and the superhuman scale, stability and mobility, permanence and change, identity and anonymity, comprehensibility and universality.

Designs of purely arbitrary nature cannot be expected to last long.

Inconsistency itself breeds vitality.

I first decided architecture was for me when I saw Le Corbusier's designs in a Japanese magazine in the 1930s.

Architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart. Creative work is expressed in our time as a union of technology and humanity.

Tradition can, to be sure, participate in a creation, but it can no longer be creative itself.
