It's not my duty as an architect to look at it.

People often ask me if I consider myself to be an architect, fashion designer, or artist. I'm an architect. The paintings I've done are very important to me, but they were part of a process of thinking and developing.

I really believe in the idea of the future.

Education, housing and hospitals are the most important things for society.

From my first days studying architecture at the architectural association, I have always been interested in the concept of fragmentation and with ideas of abstraction and explosion, where we were de-constructing ideas of repetitiveness and mass production.

You really have to have a goal. The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal. Know what it is you want to find out.

You don't always have to show art in what's called a white box; you can have a kind of complexity within an exhibit which actually respects the art as well.
