I Like Talking To Priests, To Catholics.

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

I Pick Up My Pen. It Flows. A Building Appears. There It Is. There Is Nothing More To Say.

Curves Are The Essence Of My Work Because They Are The Essence Of Brazil, Pure And Simple.

Architecture Is Invention.

We Hated Bauhaus. It Was A Bad Time In Architecture. They Just Didn’t Have Any Talent. All They Had Were Rules. Even For Knives And Forks They Created Rules. Picasso Would Never Have Accepted Rules. The House Is Like A Machine? No! The Mechanical Is Ugly. The Rule Is The Worst Thing. You Just Want To Break It.
