The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building.

Every building must have... its own soul.

Architects in planning rooms today have forgotten their faith in natural light. Depending on the touch of a finger to a switch, they are satisfied with static light and forget the endlessly changing qualities of natural light, in which a room is a different room every second of the day.

I sense Light as the giver of all presences, and material as spent Light. What is made by Light casts a shadow, and the shadow belongs to Light.

The nature of space reflects what it wants to be.

The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.

A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.
