It is no use working with other architects. What can they do? Who does what?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Architects work in two ways. One is to respond precisely to a client's needs or demands. Another is to look at what the client asks and reinterpret it.
Architects have made architecture too complex. We need to simplify it and use a language that everyone can understand.
Normally, architects render a service. They implement what other people want. This is not what I do. I like to develop the use of the building together with the client, in a process, so that as we go along we become more intelligent.
I've met architects before, and they're not living the life we see on TV.
To work in architecture you are so much involved with society, with politics, with bureaucrats. It's a very complicated process to do large projects. You start to see the society, how it functions, how it works. Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works.
Who is the architect? I am the architect.
If, early on, you know how things are put together, then you can build. The architect is in charge of making - he is not an artist.
I always think of buildings in their settings, but so do other architects.
All clients think that they are architects.
Architects are not clients. We can't build without something to built.
