And sometimes I'm criticized. But I think that if those who criticize us will look at the reason why the shape is this, well then, I think that they would not object so strenuously.

I didn't want to lose the human scale.

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

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

And I think that the environment is one very strong way to counterbalance the chaotic nature of our life.

And I feel that we in our society should not be held by any such myth; that we should do everything we can to gain a delight and joy in our society with all the available parts of the palette.

If you look at the buildings, you'll find that one part looks as if it was designed by one man, and you go around and look at another facade and it looks as if it was designed by another man, you see.
