Almost every time I make a building, some people will condemn it straight to Hell.
From Arne Jacobsen
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.
People buy a chair, and they don't really care who designed it.
Furniture manufacturing in plastics requires very costly machinery, which the Danish market is not big enough to justify. Or so they say. But show me a plastics manufacturer who dares to take on the experiment.
In a way, the sense of quality has improved, the status symbol of the small things is gone, and it is acceptable to use stainless steel, even if the neighbour uses silver.
That is the artistic task: To choose the best from these solutions.
The primary factor is proportions.
There is always a point when one senses one's lack of skill, the doubt.
When I travel, I draw and paint sketches which is great fun. And as long as you are fully aware that it has nothing to do with actual art, I think that's all right.
