Since Stonehenge, architects have always been at the cutting edge of technology. And you cant separate technology from the humanistic and spiritual content of a building.

You cannot separate the buildings out from the infrastructure of cites and the mobility of transit.

I was born in 1935, and as far back as I can remember, I was sketching designs. My first subject was an aircraft, which I imagined myself piloting.

I think you never stop learning.

Everything inspires me; sometimes I think I see things others don’t.

There's a snobbery at work in architecture. The subject is too often treated as a fine art, delicately wrapped in mumbo-jumbo. In reality, it's an all-embracing discipline taking in science, art, maths, engineering, climate, nature, politics, economics.

The pencil and computer are, if left to their own devices, equally dumb and only as good as the person driving them.
