I Am Obsessed With Architecture. It Is

It's Not New That Architecture Can Profoundly Affect A Place, Sometimes Transform It. Architecture And Any Art Can Transform A Person, Even Save Someone. It Can For Children - For Anyone. It Still Does For Me.

Generally People Are More Impressed With The Services And The Comfort Issues Than The Design.

In Tokyo, London Or Los Angeles People Go Into Mcdonald's And The Restaurants Are Identical And People Are Comfortable. It's Unthreatening.

I Used To Read More When I Was A Kid Than I Do Now. It Was All Sort Of Fuel For The Fire To Teach You How To Think And How To Make Things And It Informed The Architecture That I Was Doing. It's Better Coming In With That History And That Kind Of Knowledge And Depth Of Understanding Of Humanity That Is Very Important For Building Buildings - For Understanding People And How They Should Live And How You Could Make Your Lives Better And Stuff Like That.

People Ask Me If I'm An Artist Or An Architect. But I Think They're The Same.
