Good design doesn't date.

Buildings are always better than drawings and models.

Good design doesn't date. Bad design does.

Everyday people are not very good designers.

Design is not so much a design issue as a power struggle.

I don't think architecture is radical. How can something that takes years and costs millions be radical?

It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?

Building is just skilled labor, I suppose. It's a lot of work. I don't mind other people building them, but the way things go together and are made is interesting to me; I like that a lot.

And exciting buildings are fine periodically.
