Miami Beach is a completely interesting hybrid because it is, on the one hand, a resort and, on the other hand, a real city. This condition of city and water on two sides I think is really amazing. And in the heart of that city, it has put an enormous convention center, an enormous physical presence.

Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.

Without a tighter union, Europe will disintegrate

The good is not a category that interests me.

The City is an addictive machine from which there is no escape

Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.

Find optimism in the inevitable.
