I Don't Think That Architecture Is Only

I Really Believe In The Idea Of The Future.

It's Very Important For Cities All Around The World To Reinvent Themselves, And Glasgow Is A Good Example Of That. The Scots Are Very Nice. I Don't Think They Are Burdened By Their History.

People Often Ask Me If I Consider Myself To Be An Architect, Fashion Designer, Or Artist. I'm An Architect. The Paintings I've Done Are Very Important To Me, But They Were Part Of A Process Of Thinking And Developing.

It Was Such A Depressing Time. I Didn't Look Very Depressed, Maybe, But It Was Really Dire. I Made A Conscious Decision Not To Stop, But It Could Have Gone The Other Way.

The Spirit Of Adventure To Embrace The New And The Incredible Belief In The Power Of Invention Attracted Me To The Russian Avant-garde.
