I am interested in things happening around me, and I need to understand what's going on in other artistic sectors like music and literature.

When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.

We borrow from nature the space upon which we build.

People tend not to use this word beauty because it's not intellectual - but there has to be an overlap between beauty and intellect.

In all my works, light is an important controlling factor.

I think that capitalism has just gone too far. And it is actually not limited to the United States. The excesses of capitalism is making us suffer all over the world right now.

I take the museum space also as sacred in a sense.
