Architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.

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

The multiplicity of ideas is what Im interested in.

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.

So I am totally aware that when I defend the autonomy of art I'm going counter to my own development. It's more an instinctive reaction, meant to protect the private aspect of the work, the part I am most interested in and which nowadays is at risk in our culture.

I'm interested in conflict and confrontation.
