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

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.

Architecture is my work, and Ive spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.

Life is more important than architecture.

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

I enter my studio at 9 a.m. I have lunch here, I return right away to my work and I go out to dinner at 8 p.m. My daily tasks vary very much.

I am a Brazilian before I am an architect. I cannot separate the two.
