I don't build because I am an architect. I can make true architecture because I do not build.

A city can only be reconstructed in the form of urban quarters. A large or a small city can only be reorganized as a large or a small number of urban quarters; as a federation of autonomous quarters. Each quarter must have its own center, periphery and limit. Each quarter must be a city within a city.

Human intelligence is a limited resource. It cannot solve problems caused by ignoring fundamentals of existence.

In fact, the public will accept any city plan and skyline provided that its architecture is traditional.

For architecture, nature provides only indications and analogies, not models to imitate.

Modernist architecture and town planning is inimical to human beings ... based on the Darwinian concept that evolution is open ended, that there must always be something new and better.
