Today, architecture is invention. It isn't enough to just be rational - It must also be beautiful.

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

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

When you have a large space to conquer, the curve is the natural solution.

A church is something very beautiful. It is nice when people feel happy in it. But I am not a religious man. Look at us, and then at the infinity of space. We are rather small insignificant creatures, wouldn’t you say?

I was attracted by the curve — the liberated, sensual curve suggested by the possibilities of new technology yet so often recalled in venerable old baroque churches.

Architecture was my way of expressing my ideals: to be simple, to create a world equal to everyone, to look at people with optimism, that everyone has a gift. I don’t want anything but general happiness. Why is that bad?
