I think architecture becomes interesting when it has a double character, that is, when it is as simple as possible but, at the same time as complex as possible

I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things.

You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see.

The computer offers another kind of creativity. You cannot ignore the creativity that computer technology can bring. But you need to be able to move between those two different worlds.

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 can't really say what is beautiful about a place, but the image of the place will remain vividly with you.

I hope America can also be the cultural leader of the world, and use this frontier spirit to lead and show others that we need courage to go places where we have not gone before.
