For me beauty is valued more than anything - the beauty that is manifest in a curved line or in an act of creativity.

What attracts me are free and sensual curves. The curves we find in mountains, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the woman we love.

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.

I had some good opportunities. I was lucky to have had the chance to do things differently. Architecture is about surprise.

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?

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

When you have a large space to conquer, the curve is the natural solution.
