Buildings designed with careful attention to aesthetics arouse and enlighten their occupants and that promotes their good health.

Light is what gives joy to buildings.

A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom.

And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.

I feel this is very important for us to have serene buildings because our civilization is chaotic as it is, you see; our whole machine age has brought about a chaos that has to be somehow counterbalanced, I think.

Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design.

I try firstly to make buildings humane.

I love buildings that aren't purpose-built.

Goodness is something that makes us serene and content; it is magnificent. Those who are not good are evil.

And exciting buildings are fine periodically.
