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

Surprise is key in all art.

When students leave college, they are like children who know nothing about the problems of life, and don't have a political stance.

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

We need to feel that life is important; we need that fantasy so we can live a little better.

Architecture was my way of expressing my ideals: to be simple, to create a world equal to everyone, to look at people with optimism, that everyone has a gift. I don’t want anything but general happiness. Why is that bad?

Architecture is my work, and Ive spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.
