Architecture is involved with the world, but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work, like any art.

I've learned that in order to achieve what I wanted, it made more sense to negotiate than to defend the autonomy of my work by pounding my fist on the table.

Descriptions of my work depress me. They make me feel pinned down.

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

I've been such an outsider my whole life.

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

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.
