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

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

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.

Architecture does not change anything. It's always on the side of the wealthy. The important thing is to believe that it can make life better.

Today, architecture is invention. It isn't enough to just be rational - It must also be beautiful.

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

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.
