To be an architect has been a life-long dream. Little did I know when asked at the age of 14 'what do you want to do when you grow up?' I said I wanted to be an architect. After 50 years I am still learning all what that means. Working together with so many people has been enormously gratifying. Being an architect means being a member of a fantastic team.
Richard MeierWhen I am asked what I believe in, I say that I believe in architecture. Architecture is the mother of the arts. I like to believe that architecture connects the present with the past and the tangible with the intangible.
Richard MeierWe look at each one [project] and consider the context - what it is and what it can be - beyond the strictly functional concerns.
Richard MeierAny work of architecture that has with it some discussion, some polemic, I think is good. It shows that people are interested, people are involved.
