A Builder Is Like A Little God

When You Walk 25-30 Feet Above Ground, It Is A Miracle, Because You Are Still In The City ... But You Are Flying Above The City. You Are In The Middle Of Trees, And That Is A Moment Of Beauty.

Architecture Is Art. I Don't Think You Should Say That Too Much, But It Is Art. I Mean, Architecture Is Many, Many Things. Architecture Is Science, Is Technology, Is Geography, Is Typography, Is Anthropology, Is Sociology, Is Art, Is History. You Know All This Comes Together. Architecture Is A Kind Of Bouillabaisse, An Incredible Bouillabaisse. And, By The Way, Architecture Is Also A Very Polluted Art In The Sense That It's Polluted By Life, And By The Complexity Of Things.

Cities Are Beautiful Because They Are Created Slowly; They Are Made By Time. A City Is Born From A Tangle Of Monuments And Infrastructures , Culture And Market, National History And Everyday Stories. It Takes 500 Years To Create A City, 50 To Create A Neighborhood.

London Is One Of The Most Civilised Places In The World For The Procedure Of Making Architecture And Urban Design.
