Architecture is definitely a political act.

Architects design houses. I live in a home.

When looking at Germans, I have never felt a sense that they are guilty. I have encountered anti-Semitism in the United States as well.

The more centralized the power, the less compromises need to be made in architecture.

Stop making me feel good. If you are anti-Semitic, fine. If you don't like me personally, fine. But deal with me as an individual, not as a Jew.

Clearly the anti-Semitism in Germany in the 1930s went overboard and it was clearly a terrible moment in history.

I would never live in anything I design. Life and art are different. My life is very precious to me - my art is precious to me. I love designing things for other people, but I don't like designing things for myself.
