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.

It would be very interesting to design objects for everyday life, something where the ideas that are expressed can be launched into society.

I find industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.

I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.

Of course there is a lot of fluidity now between art, architecture and fashion - a lot more cross-pollination in the disciplines, but this isn't about competition, it's about collaboration and what these practices and processes can contribute to one another.

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

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