I want to create a space that moves people. It doesn't matter if it is a house, or a museum, or whatever. So, it is somebody sitting on that lawn, just going around and around and feeling really happy. That is something that I'm striving for.

You always want to try to make something new, and, of course, America is the world leader in economics today.

At the same time, I would add that the American people have a lot of courage.

I don't believe architecture has to speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in the guise of sunlight and wind

I hope that America as a whole, and especially its architects, will become more seriously involved in producing a new architectural culture that would bring the nation to the apex - where it has stood before - and lead the world.

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.

I like ruins because what remains is not the total design, but the clarity of thought, the naked structure, the spirit of the thing.
