If I can create some space that people haven't experienced before and if it stays with them or gives them a dream for the future, that's the kind of structure I seek to create.

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.

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

The level of detail and craft is something that's inscribed within the original design concept. And so when I begin to draw, I know what kind of detailing I want the building to have.

My objective is to design a space that nobody else can come up with while using the material that anyone can use.
