I Refuse To Work Unless I Get

With Computers We Can Work Everything Out From The Beginning.

I Make A Model Of The Site. There Are Some Obvious Things: Where The Entrance Should Be, Where The Cars Have To Go In. You Start To Get The Scale Of It. You Understand The Client's Needs, And What The Client Is Hoping For And Yearning For.

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.

Architecture Should Speak Of Its Time And Place, But Yearn For Timelessness.

The Thing Is, I Hate The Celebrity Architect Thing. I Just Do My Work.
