Architecture is an expression of values.

It takes a lot of effort to make a building look effortless.

Control is the wrong word. The practice is very much about sharing, and, in any creative practice, some individuals, whether partners or directors, are much closer to certain projects than I could ever be.

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.

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.

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