I have no requirements for a style of architecture.

In designing hardware to be used every day, it was important to keep both the human aspects and the machine in mind. What looks good also often feels good

The design of the building addresses the public nature of both the urban context and the internal program. In order to reinforce the building's associative or mimetic qualities, the facades are organized in a classical three-part division of base, middle or body, and attic or head.

I stayed true to what I thought was good design no matter who it was for.

I don't care what people call me, labels have the negative value of making smaller boundaries for people.

The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.

I once got a postcard from a French poet who wrote - "you don't know me but I'm always very grumpy when I get up in morning. But when I get up now I put the tea kettle on, and when it starts to sing it makes me smile - goddamn you!" That's what happened when we first designed it - we got a lot of mail.
