I have no requirements for a style of architecture.

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.

Architects love to rethink a project - that's what we do. If something is successful, like a house or a kettle, in this case, it's a great compliment when someone wants another one.

Architectural and product designs have a narrative capacity - you can start to tell a story about them and imagine a lot of things.

I have architects write to me and ask me: How do you - and what do you do to - design the magic thing? I answer that very carefully. It's not necessarily about what you do, but the clients you do it for. You should write to Target, not me.

In America, writers are afforded the freedom to express themselves in unlimited manners. Creative liberty is a privilege.
