Main Street is almost alright.

Main Street is almost alright.

As an architect, I try to be guided not by habit but by a conscious sense of the past-by precedent, thoughtfully considered...As an artist, I frankly write about what I like in architecture: complexity and contradiction. From what we find we like-what we are easily attracted to-we can learn much of what we really are.

Disharmony that comes from circumstances that are valid has tension, poignancy, quality, and beauty.

When circumstances defy order, order should bend or break: anomalies and uncertainties give validity to architecture.

Modernism is about space. Postmodernism is about communication. You should do what turns you on.

It was very unusual to employ prettiness as part of a building.
