Architecture will always express the technical and social progress of the country in which it is carried out. If we wish to give it the human content that it lacks, we must participate in the political struggle.

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

I was attracted by the curve — the liberated, sensual curve suggested by the possibilities of new technology yet so often recalled in venerable old baroque churches.

I like talking to priests, to Catholics. Everyone has their beliefs.

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

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.

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