And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.
Why should we build very large spaces when they are not necessary? We can design halls spanning several kilometres and covering a whole city, but we have to ask, what does it really make? What does society really need?
There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old, and the same today as it has ever been. The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way.
Architecture is about public space held by buildings.
In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives.
My buildings don't speak in words but by means of their own spaciousness.
Architecture is the thoughtful making of space.
