In architecture, the demand was no longer for box-like forms, but for buildings that have something to say to the human emotions.

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.

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