When I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not, I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly.

To design something really new and innovative you have to reject reason.

I am aware of changes gradually taking place in my own designs as part of my thinking on this matter.

Design is the courage and brilliance to cover an original and make it different.

My first buildings, when I was about 30, were rejected for aesthetic reasons.

My design is no design.

I was much more interested in making things than in designing them.

Designing was an effortless exercise and something I always enjoyed.

Design is an unknown.

There are 9 rejected ideas for every idea that works.
