I pick up my pen. It flows. A building appears. There it is. There is nothing more to say.

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

Life is more important than architecture.

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

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

The challenge of a cathedral is very good for architectural inventiveness.

I search for surprise in my architecture. A work of art should cause the emotion of newness.
