I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.

Our world, like a charnel-house, is strewn with the detritus of dead epochs.

My research is like my feeling directed towards what is the principal value in the life, the poetry.

Vehement silhouettes of Manhattan - that vertical city with unimaginable diamonds.

Architecture is the masterly, correct, and magnificent play of masses brought together in light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light: light and shade reveal these forms.

The materials of city planning are: sky, space, trees, steel and cement; in that order and that hierarchy.

The purpose of construction is TO MAKE THINGS HOLD TOGETHER; of architecture TO MOVE US.
