Right angles don't attract me. Nor straight, hard and inflexible lines created by man.

There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space.

My work is not about "form follows function," but "form follows beauty" or, even better, "form follows feminine."

The artistic capability of reinforced concrete is so fantastic - that is the way to go.

Life is more important than architecture.

My ambition has always been to reduce a building's support to a minimum. The more we diminish supporting structures, the more audacious and important the architecture is. That has been my life's work.

We have to have dreams, even if they never come true.
