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.

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

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.

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.

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.

What each school offers is something unique. But, there are two types of activity an architect must be educated on. First, the architect needs concentrated activities to learn the guidelines, and that is what school is for. But, second, is the public aspect of education. The architect needs to see architecture in the streets to learn.

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