We are all affected by Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, and Mies van der Rohe. But no less than Bramante, Borromini, and Bernini. Architecture is a tradition, a long continuum. Whether we break with tradition or enhance it, we are still connected to that past. We evolve.

Architecture which enters into a symbiosis with light does not merely create form in light, by day and at night, but allow light to become form.

Ultimately it's the public nature of those projects that I most enjoy. Museums are more than just places to view art, they're also civic and social centers.

I think white is the most wonderful color of all, because within it one can find every color of the rainbow.

We think about project's public nature and how that can be enhanced, how the spaces we create can enliven the experience of being there.

If I had my druthers, I would do a lot more.

We learn a lot, and each museum ends up having its own distinctive character and personality.
