The multiplicity of ideas is what Im interested in.

Look around at day-to-day life for ideas, and it finds its way into your work.

I'm often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That's impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more.

You can't make anything authentic by asking people what they want because they don't know what they want. That's what they're looking at you for.

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.

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

I've been such an outsider my whole life.
