Architecture is like writing. You have to edit it over and over so it looks effortless

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

When I first came to Guangzhou in 1981, it seemed such a hard and dour place with everyone in Chairman Mao uniforms.

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

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

Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.
