An important work of architecture will create polemics.

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.

Rome has not seen a modern building in more than half a century. It is a city frozen in time.

Each museum is different - the collection is different, the context is different, the relationship between the art and architecture is different.

The world has changed a great deal from when I began 50 years ago. I was very fortunate. There were a lot of opportunities that perhaps don't exist today.

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.
