As a building is resistant to forces acting upon it, a person must be equally tenacious in life.

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.

I have tried to get close to the frontier between architecture and sculpture and to understand architecture as an art.

It's very atmospheric. It's not a building that is a severe statement in the skyline. We need the height; otherwise, the building almost disappears because it is so slender.

I am always searching for more light and space.

The architect is not only the director, but he is the composer. And, as a composer, the architect brings a sense of creativity to each building.

I think it is important to be present in the places where you are working. It is not only about doing a project, but following the project through its construction.
