As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown.

I think you never stop learning.

I am always surprised by how much little emphasis schools of architecture, and indeed, many architects, place on the process of the mating of a building.

Google has already tested robot cars in San Francisco. If they can navigate San Francisco, they can probably manage just about anywhere.

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

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.

I'm not a creature of habit. I like to find things from unexpected sources.
