I Don't Know Whose Box I'm In,

Everybody's An Artist. Unfortunately We Don't Treat Them As Such.

The Rap On Me On The Street Is The Opposite - I'm Impractical, I'm More Expensive, It's Too Complicated And I Run Over Budgets, Which Isn't True. None Of That's True And There's Plenty Of Documentation If Anybody Needs It.

People Say, "this Is The World The Way It Is, And Don't Bother Me." Then When Somebody Does Something Different, Real Architecture, The Push-back Is Amazing. People Resist It. At First It's New And Scary.

I Think People Care. If Not, Why Do So Many People Spend Money Going On Vacations To See Architecture? They Go To The Parthenon, To Chartres, To The Sydney Opera House. They Go To Bilbao... Something Compels Them, And Yet We Live Surrounded By Everything But Great Architecture.

We Should Celebrate Variety Rather Than Conformity And Allow People To Express Themselves. That We Don't Is More Of Our Denial.
