In my own work, I'd say I'm a classicist, but I look everywhere for my solutions. I don't study the toilet-living habits of my clients, although that's a popular approach. First, I think of every building in history that has been similar in purpose. Then I think of the functional program - that's a major part of the study.

I guess I want to make money just like other people, perhaps more than most people.

I wouldn't build a building if it wasn't of interest to me as a potential work of art. Why should I?

Architecture is the art of how to waste space.

The first complete sentence out of my mouth was probably that line about consistency being the hobgoblin of small minds.

Don't build a glass house if you're worried about saving money on heating.

Architecture is art, nothing else.
