You Have To Be Optimistic. I Still

If You're Serious About Being An Architect, You've Got To Learn How To Take Responsibility. It's Not Fluff. You Have To Do Every Detail On Every Bloody Piece Of The Building. You Have To Know How The Engineering Works. You Have To Know How The Fittings Go Together. You Have To Master The Mechanical, Electrical, Acoustical - Everything.

I Hate The Word Starchitect. Stuff Like That Comes From Mean-spirited, Untalented Journalists. It's Demeaning.

People Ask Me If I'm An Artist Or An Architect. But I Think They're The Same.

I'm A Do-gooder Liberal.

Architecture And Any Art Can Transform A Person, Even Save Someone. It Can For Children - For Anyone. It Still Does For Me.
