It's only in hindsight that you realize what indeed your childhood was really like.

How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It's more evident now.

In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.

You couldn't put me in a social group setting. I'm probably a terrible anarchist deep down.

My goal is to strip things down so that you need just the right amount of words or shape to convey what you need to convey. I like editing. I like it very tight.

We were unusually brought up; there was no gender differentiation. I was never thought of as any less than my brother.

I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.
