Architecture is definitely a political act.
From Peter Eisenman
Conservation destroys the present. If we are only busy preserving the past, we are not living in the present and unable to look forward. I am against conservation. We should let young people move forward, whether we agree with them or not. We should let new things happen.
There's no such thing as an absolute openness. Openness is relative, I think, in all societies.
I would never live in anything I design. Life and art are different. My life is very precious to me - my art is precious to me. I love designing things for other people, but I don't like designing things for myself.
If you were a son of mine, I wouldn't want you to be an architect, because it's a tough way to be in the world.
The problem with digital architecture is that an algorithm can produce endless variations, so an architect has many choices.
I truly believe that the great heroes that create the history of architecture are people who take risks and write to tell about it.
I don't believe that classical architecture is enough to engage people anymore. They say: 'So what else is new?'
Architects design houses. I live in a home.
I am immersed in architecture all day, working in my office or teaching.
