I don't believe in morality in 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.

My favorite is the garlic press. I think it's beautiful as an object. But the awkward part of it all is that I don't use it much because I'm allergic to garlic.

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.

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

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