There are self-made millionaires - their aspiration is first to make money. But the once that goal is achieved, they have to look for something and sometimes they become patrons of art or museums. And that is how the world should go.

The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.

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

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.

If there is only one culture all over the world, that's not a good thing.

We borrow from nature the space upon which we build.

As long as you have an objective in your mind you are young.
