It Was The Drawing That Led Me

Architecture Is My Work, And Ive Spent My Whole Life At A Drawing Board, But Life Is More Important Than Architecture. What Matters Is To Improve Human Beings.

I Search For Surprise In My Architecture. A Work Of Art Should Cause The Emotion Of Newness.

I Am A Brazilian Before I Am An Architect. I Cannot Separate The Two.

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.

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