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.

The artistic capability of reinforced concrete is so fantastic - that is the way to go.

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

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 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.

I think of myself as no more than 60. What I could do at 60, I can still do now.

Life is more important than architecture.
