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.

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.

The way is not always easy, but in order to bring a work through to completion, you will need a strong character, a broad foundation of knowledge and an enormous force of persuasion.

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

Actually, if you look at the works of the great architects of our time, you can see that their most beautiful works are always their later works - Kahn, Corbusier, even Gehry.

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

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