Curves Are The Essence Of My Work

Life Is Very Fleeting. It’s Important To Be Gentle And Optimistic. We Look Behind And Think What We’ve Done In This Life Has Been Good. It Was Simple; It Was Modest. Everyone Creates Their Own Story And Moves On. That’s It. I Don’t Feel Particularly Important. What We Create Is Not Important. We’re Very Insignificant.

What Attracts Me Are Free And Sensual Curves. The Curves We Find In Mountains, In The Waves Of The Sea, In The Body Of The Woman We Love.

The Rule Is The Worst Thing. You Just Want To Break It.

Curves Are The Essence Of My Work Because They Are The Essence Of Brazil, Pure And Simple.

I Have Always Accepted And Respected All Other Schools Of Architecture, From The Chill And Elemental Structures Of Mies Van Der Rohe To The Imagination And Delirium Of Gaudi. I Must Design What Pleases Me In A Way That Is Naturally Linked To My Roots And The Country Of My Origin.
