With products the form is almost the finished piece, but with architecture it is not.

I don't like the masculine style, jeans. I like issey miyake... and black dresses.

I like music. Country, hip-hop, R&B, sometimes classical.

The conservative values that are emerging, it may not effect architecture immediately but it will effect society and that's what worries me.

When you are overworked and exhausted, there is a sense of kind of delirium and that's why I think architects do all-nighters and they kind of do those deadlines. For four days I remember doing four nights in one row with no sleep. I mean nobody, unless you are crazy, would do that, but you are totally focused on the project.

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.

A brilliant design will always benefit from the input of others.
