Doing A House Is So Much Harder

In My Own Work, I'd Say I'm A Classicist, But I Look Everywhere For My Solutions. I Don't Study The Toilet-living Habits Of My Clients, Although That's A Popular Approach. First, I Think Of Every Building In History That Has Been Similar In Purpose. Then I Think Of The Functional Program - That's A Major Part Of The Study.

Architecture Is Art, Nothing Else.

Doing A House Is So Much Harder Than Doing A Skyscraper.

I Like The Thought That What We Are To Do On This Earth Is Embellish It For Its Greater Beauty, So That Oncoming Generations Can Look Back To The Shapes We Leave Here And Get The Same Thrill That I Get In Looking Back At Theirs - At The Parthenon, At Chartres Cathedral.

All Architects Want To Live Beyond Their Deaths.
