Architecture is definitely a political act.

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.

Architecture is always political.

Buildings are 'humane' only when they promote peaceful human co-existence.

It is not with architecture that one can disseminate any political ideology.

If we do not lay out ourselves in the service of mankind whom should we serve?

I'm particularly interested in the public role that all buildings play. I believe that we architects should try to go beyond our basic obligations to the public, and our opportunities to do so are many.

I love buildings that aren't purpose-built.

I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.

Churches, synagogues, and mosques should be treated the same.
