I love New York, but I'd felt like an outsider here.

As architects we are often involved in the concrete-steel-and-glass aspect of it, but cities are social structures, and to be involved in imagining the future of cities and the type of relationships and the types of places that we're making is something that intrigues me very much.

There are bound to be differences in any artistic collaboration with landscape elements, or theater, of lighting elements.

I had a dual role: designer and advocate.

New York was a place I wanted to live and work all along. If I wasn't going to live in Israel, I had to live in New York.
