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.

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

What attracts me are free and sensual curves. The curves we find in mountains, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the woman we love.

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

We hated Bauhaus. It was a bad time in architecture. They just didn’t have any talent. All they had were rules. Even for knives and forks they created rules. Picasso would never have accepted rules. The house is like a machine? No! The mechanical is ugly. The rule is the worst thing. You just want to break it.

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

Life is more important than architecture.
