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 search for surprise in my architecture. A work of art should cause the emotion of newness.

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

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

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

Camus says in 'The Stranger' that reason is the enemy of imagination. Sometimes you have to put reason aside and make something beautiful.

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