Architecture Is Unnecessarily Difficult. It's Very Tough.

Architecture Is Particularly Difficult For Women; There's No Reason For It To Be. I Don't Want To Blame Men Or Society, But I Think It Was For A Long Time, The Clients Were Men, The Building Industry Is All Male.

As A Woman, I'm Expected To Want Everything To Be Nice And To Be Nice Myself. A Very English Thing. I Don't Design Nice Buildings - I Don't Like Them. I Like Architecture To Have Some Raw, Vital, Earthy Quality.

A Brilliant Design Will Always Benefit From The Input Of Others.

Would They Call Me A Diva If I Were A Guy?

I Made A Decision When I Was In School That I'd Have A Lot Of Male Friends.
