I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions.

You really have to have a goal.

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.

The commission process in America and England is different. In America, they do it through an interview process, and it's really based on whether they like you or not. I mean, it's nothing to do with whether you do the best scheme or the worst scheme.

I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.

Some people really live and work within the same doctrine, the same diagram with the same logic.

You have to be very focused and work very hard, but it is not about working hard without knowing what your aim is!
