Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.

I don't think that everybody in the planet should have a child. I've never had the desire I should have a kid.

Architecture is particularly difficult for women; there's no reason for it to be. I don't want to blame men or society, but I think it was for a long time, the clients were men, the building industry is all male.

I used to not like being called a 'woman architect.' I'm an architect, not just a woman architect. The guys used to tap me on the head and say 'you're OK for a girl.' But I see an incredible amount of need from other women for reassurance that it can be done, so I don't mind anymore.

I made a decision when I was in school that I'd have a lot of male friends.

I am sure that as a woman I can do a very good skyscraper.

It is insufficient for architecture today to directly implement an existing building typology; it instead requires architects to carefully examine the whole area with new interventions and programmatic typologies
