I didn't want to lose the human scale.

Let's talk about the Gas Company because this is my favorite job.

We build buildings which are terribly restless. And buildings don't go anywhere. They shouldn't be restless.

And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.

I have been criticized rather strenuously by painters and sculptors for not incorporating their work in our buildings.

But now I know that it is very important that all buildings should be consistent, that this is the quality of the Gothic cathedral, for instance, that we like.

I want to do very useful buildings and I would like to find a method of producing these buildings through our technology because I think that this is the only way that we will gain wonderful environment easily in the future.
