It was always my goal to 'up the ante' on good design and rye devoted much of my career to this

My favorite project is always the next 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 don't believe in morality in architecture.

In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.

I learned in architecture that you have to have a real plan. You have to have a client, they have to have distribution, start-up money, and have a vision of where it's going to go. All this has to be settled before you start, or else your work is just a story.

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.
