I think space, architectural space, is my thing. It's not about facade, elevation, making image, making money. My passion is creating space.

If, early on, you know how things are put together, then you can build. The architect is in charge of making - he is not an artist.

My relationship to plants becomes closer and closer. They make me quiet; I like to be in their company.

In a society that celebrates the inessential, architecture can put up a resistance, counteract the waste of forms and meanings and speak its own language.

If you're lucky, and a building succeeds, the real product has many more dimensions than you can ever imagine. You have the sun, the light, the rain, the birds, the feel.

I’m a passionate architect... I do not work for money

In a fragment of a second you can understand: Things you know, things you don’t know, things you don’t know that you don’t know, conscious, unconscious, things which in a fragrant of a second you can react to: we can all imagine why this capacity was given to us as human beings - I guess to survive. Architecture to me has the same kind of capacity. It takes longer to capture, but the essence to me is the same. I call this atmosphere. When you experience a building and it gets to you. It sticks in your memory and your feelings. I guess thats what I am trying to do.
