I'm A Do-gooder Liberal.

Some Cultures Tried To Stop People From Expressing Themselves. In Mao's China, For Example, The Communists Tried To Stop Individual Expression. For Them The Payoff Was A Society Of Equality. The Problem Of Course Is That It Didn't Work.

We Deny Our Nature To Build And Create And Then Wonder Why There Is So Much Alienation And Dissatisfaction.

It's Not New That Architecture Can Profoundly Affect A Place, Sometimes Transform It.

I Used To Read More When I Was A Kid Than I Do Now. It Was All Sort Of Fuel For The Fire To Teach You How To Think And How To Make Things And It Informed The Architecture That I Was Doing. It's Better Coming In With That History And That Kind Of Knowledge And Depth Of Understanding Of Humanity That Is Very Important For Building Buildings - For Understanding People And How They Should Live And How You Could Make Your Lives Better And Stuff Like That.

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