I cannot look at modern buildings without thinking of historical ones.

I don't look at what people do with their homes in terms of money, but the social and personal value of what they're trying to do and achieve.

Life involves other people and it is a compromise.

Sustainability is now a big baggy sack in which people throw all kinds of old ideas, hot air and dodgy activities in order to be able to greenwash their products and feel good.

A great deal of energy is wasted in hating people, and I can honestly say I've no wish to expend such a precious resource on being outraged about anyone.

Generally speaking, I think that if you do anything with commitment and passion, it will come good.

I don't enjoy living in a white box flooded with light. I like shadows, small spaces, old furniture.
