Technology is constantly changing and brings you automatically into the present. In that way, it automatically makes you build for this time.

The architect needs to learn to see, and to open his eyes because there is always a lesson to learn from the streets.

You start a project as a young person and then at the end you are another person. You are ready to go for your pension.

The most touching thing that anyone can say to me is that I have done something beautiful for the community.

I love the construction process and it is always important because we try to experiment and do something new, so the builders are not copying any technique from other projects. Everything is innovative and so I need to be there and be attentive to make sure everything is running smoothly.

The concept of an "architect" is one of the oldest professions in the world. Whereas, some professions, such as a "lawyer", have their roots in Latin, "Archi - tecton" is actually a Greek word, and much older. Just knowing how old the profession is gives me hope that we will still exist for years to come, even if we are changing.

Later works are better because it takes a lot of time in architecture to mature. And, it takes a lot of discipline to experience everything that is changing around you.
