To me, a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man, he's made it out of his love for space, materials, things like that.

And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.
I love buildings that aren't purpose-built.
As an architect, you have to provide a shelter to enjoy art. And you have to love art. It's like when you make a concert hall. You must love music. This is the reason why you make the space, to enjoy music - making a space for art is the same thing.
The building art is man's spatial dialogue with his environment and demonstrates how he asserts himself therein and how he masters it.
I think space, architectural space, is my thing. It's not about facade, elevation, making image, making money. My passion is creating space.
Every building must have... its own soul.
All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.
I don't want to be romantic, but one of the most important things is to have happy buildings... it's like having a family with a lot of children.
Let every man feel that he is the architect and builder of his own life, and that he proposes to make a success of it by working.
Every one who has a heart, however ignorant of architecture he may be, feels the transcendent beauty and poetry of the mediaeval churches.
