Architecture Should Speak Of Its Time And

Anybody I Talk To Agrees That Maybe 2 Percent Of The Building Environment Since The War, We Could Call Architecture.

In The Renaissance There Wasn't A Distinction. Bernini Was An Artist And He Made Architecture, And Michelangelo Also Did Some Great Architecture.

I Do My Best To Choose Carefully. If I Don’t Feel That Collaboration Is Going To Happen, I Say No. Think About It. These Projects Can Involve A Five-to-seven-year Partnership. If You Don’t Feel Comfortable With Someone, You Can’t Get Rid Of Them. I Just Walked Away From A Job For That Reason. Every One Of These Projects Is An Emotional Investment, Like Falling In Love. You’ve Got To Believe In It And You’ve Got To Like The People You Work With.

Architecture Has Always Been A Very Idealistic Profession. It's About Making The World A Better Place And It Works Over The Generations Because People Go On Vacation And They Look For It.

One Of My Greatest Influences Is The Italian Artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
