My architecture is easy to understand. And enjoy. I hope it also is hard to forget.

Right angles don't attract me. Nor straight, hard and inflexible lines created by man.

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

Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant.

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

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

My ambition has always been to reduce a building's support to a minimum. The more we diminish supporting structures, the more audacious and important the architecture is. That has been my life's work.
