I Am A Brazilian Before I Am

I Like Talking To Priests, To Catholics. Everyone Has Their Beliefs.

Of Course, I Have Given My Engineers Some Headaches Over The Years, But They Go With Me. I Have Always Wanted My Buildings To Be As Light As Possible, To Touch The Ground Gently, To Swoop And Soar, And To Surprise.

Architecture Is Invention.

In Architecture It Isn't Enough To Just Have The Right Building That Works Well. It Can Also Be Beautiful. It Can Also Be Different. It Can Create Surprise. And Surprise Is The Main Thing In A Work Of Art. [] I Like And Respect Brasí­lia Very Much. It Is A Simple City, A Rational One. I Always Defend The Urban Design Of Brasí­lia

We Have To Have Dreams, Even If They Never Come True.
