For me the meaning of my work is much more fluid.

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.

My buildings don't speak in words but by means of their own spaciousness.

Large-scale public projects require the agreement of large numbers of people.

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.

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

We only exist in terms of how we think we exist. Meaning every cultural development is fabricated and can be fabricated.
