I feel however, that we architects have a special duty and mission... (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning

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

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

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.

Inconsistency itself breeds vitality.

I like to think there is something deep in our own world of reality that will create a dynamic balance between technology and human existence, the relationship between which has a decisive effect on contemporary cultural forms and social structure.

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