If there's going to be another movement, another direction in architecture, it has to engage people differently. Other than saying, here, look at this, isn't this amazing? It has to interactively involve them other than as spectators ... it has to engage them as creators.

Architecture is about ideas in the first place. You don't get to design until you have an idea.

Architecture and war are not incompatible. Architecture is war. War is architecture. I am at war with my time, with history, with all authority that resides in fixed and frightened forms.

Unlike the past decades, the present moment is lacking in architectural discourse.

If there is no idea in the drawing, there is no idea in the constructed project. That's the expression of the idea. Architects make drawings that other people build. I make the drawings. If someone wants to build from those, that's up to them. I feel I'm making architecture. I believe the building comes into being as soon as it's drawn.

A lot of my work is about questioning the stability and permanence of architecture, and, in turn, the stability of society.

Architecture is a political act, by nature. It has to do with the relationships between people and how they decide to change their conditions of living.
