I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.

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

Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space ... On the one hand it's about shelter, but it's also about pleasure.

Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person.

Two years ago I focused on one apartment to see how many variations you can come up with in a given space with the same parameters. I would work on this repeatedly for days and you see that there is maybe seven hundred options for one space. This exercise gives you an idea of the degree at which you can interpret the organization of space, it is not infinite but it's very large.

Being Iraqi taught me to be very cautious.

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