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

I was in Taiwan recently and was completely amazed by the density of population. It makes New York look like no one is out on the streets.

When 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.

An important work of architecture will create polemics.

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.

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

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