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

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

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

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.

Curves are the essence of my work because they are the essence of Brazil, pure and simple.

When I was very little my mother said I used to draw in the air with my fingers. I needed a pencil. Once I could hold one, I have drawn every day since.
