If You Have Total Freedom, Then You

If You Have Total Freedom, Then You Are In Trouble. It's Much Better When You Have Some Obligation, Some Discipline, Some Rules. When You Have No Rules, Then You Start To Build Your Own Rules.

As An Architect You Are A Builder. You Are Of Course More Than A Builder. You Need To Be A Militant, You Have To Be A Poet, You Have To Be A Visionary, You Have To Be An Artist. But Certainly You Have To Be A Builder. Everything Starts From There.

I Dont Remember A Single Thing In My Childhood That Was Not Related In Some Way To Building.

Architects Have To Dream, We Have To Search For Our Atlantises, To Be Explorers, Adventurers, And Yet To Build Responsibly And Well.

In A Way I Spend My Entire Life Stealing From Everything - From The Past, From Cities I Love, From Where I Grew Up - Grabbing Things, Taking Not Only From Architecture But From Italy, Art, Writing, Poetry, Music.
