My Dad Was Dean Of Fine Arts

It's Funny, As You Live Through Something You're Not Aware Of It.

Architecture Is Like A Mythical Fantastic. It Has To Be Experienced. It Can't Be Described. We Can Draw It Up And We Can Make Models Of It, But It Can Only Be Experienced As A Complete Whole.

I Probably Spent The First 20 Years Of My Life Wanting To Be As American As Possible. Through My 20s, And Into My 30s, I Began To Become Aware Of How So Much Of My Art And Architecture Has A Decidedly Eastern Character.

A Lot Of My Works Deal With A Passage, Which Is About Time. I Don't See Anything That I Do As A Static Object In Space. It Has To Exist As A Journey In Time.

Art Is Very Tricky Because It's What You Do For Yourself. It's Much Harder For Me To Make Those Works Than The Monuments Or The Architecture.
