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

Turning 102 is crap, and there is nothing to commemorate.

Life is more important than architecture.

I deliberately disregarded the right angle and rationalist architecture designed with ruler and square to boldly enter the world of curves and straight lines offered by reinforced concrete... This deliberate protest arose from the environment in which I lived, with its white beaches, its huge mountains, its old baroque churches, and the beautiful suntanned women.

It is not with architecture that one can disseminate any political ideology.

Architecture is invention.

Sometimes I lose a whole morning waiting on journalists and other people who look for me. But I always find some time for reading, talking to my friends and feeling what is happening in this world.
