So at a time in which the media give the public everything it wants and desires, maybe art should adopt a much more aggressive attitude towards the public. I myself am very much inclined to take this position.

So we can't go backwards, we can only go where the evolutionary trajectory is taking us and attune our ideas about ourselves and our existence to that course.

The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking, relaxing and communicating. Architecture thinks about how these activities can be given added value.

The huge problem in our society is the enormous ignorance of the ideas that underlie modern art.

Our idea of nature is increasingly being determined by scientific developments. And they have become decisive for our image of reality.

Art in progress. MAK has occupied a unique and valuable space as international host for discourse between the arts and architecture.

I'm interested in conflict and confrontation.
