Life is very fleeting. It’s important to be gentle and optimistic. We look behind and think what we’ve done in this life has been good. It was simple; it was modest. Everyone creates their own story and moves on. That’s it. I don’t feel particularly important. What we create is not important. We’re very insignificant.

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

The rule is the worst thing. You just want to break it.

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?

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

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.

Life is more important than architecture.
