A building is hard to judge. It takes many years to find out whether it works. It's not as simple as asking the people in the office whether they like it.
From Helmut Jahn
Chinese buildings are like American buildings, with big footprints. People don't care about daylight or fresh air.
I've never looked at a suburban building as being a minor building and an urban building as being a major building.
In Europe, architects consider themselves artists. They think they're special when they win a competition.
It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?
We are creating a unique experience. It's starts with how you see the building from a distance.
