I'm Of Two Minds About Doing Any

I Do My Best To Choose Carefully. If I Don’t Feel That Collaboration Is Going To Happen, I Say No. Think About It. These Projects Can Involve A Five-to-seven-year Partnership. If You Don’t Feel Comfortable With Someone, You Can’t Get Rid Of Them. I Just Walked Away From A Job For That Reason. Every One Of These Projects Is An Emotional Investment, Like Falling In Love. You’ve Got To Believe In It And You’ve Got To Like The People You Work With.

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

I Think The Biggest Problem With 'industrial' Architecture Is That It's Lost Its Sense Of Humanity. Minimalist Stuff Drains All The Humanity Out Of It. That Idea Works Great For The Money Thing, But It Doesn't Work Great For The Feeling Thing.

The Message I Hope To Have Sent Is Just The Example Of Being Yourself. I Tell This To My Students: It's Not About Copying Me Or My Logic Systems. It's About Allowing Yourself To Be Yourself.

Ultimately You Can't Repress Individuality, Even Though You Can Try.
