A Museum Is A Place Where One

Knowing How To Do Things Not Just With The Head, But With The Hands As Well: This Might Seem A Programmatic And Ideological Goal. It Is Not. It Is A Way Of Safeguarding Creative Freedom.

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.

My Inspiration Came From The Land, ... And, Of Course, From Paul Klee . . . And The Poetics Of His Paintings.

A Piazza Is Not A Plaza. The Plaza Is The Theme Park Of The Piazza; The Plaza Is The Commercial Version. A Piazza Is An Empty Space With No Function. This Is What Europeans Understand.

If You Have Total Freedom, Then You Are In Trouble. It's Much Better When You Have Some Obligation, Some Discipline, Some Rules. When You Have No Rules, Then You Start To Build Your Own Rules.
