Architecture should be rooted in the past, and yet be part of our own time and forward looking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lasting architecture has to have roots.
Architecture is a living thing. If I want to leave something to the future, it has to be able to change - but retain something of the ethos that we built up over 50 years.
I would say that to put architecture in the chain of history, to be able to interpret and understand why we are where we are, is quite crucial.
The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.
Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future.
Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space. Living, Changing, New. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, only today can be given form. Only such architecture is creative.
I suppose I'm trying to build an architecture that's as timeless as possible, although we're all creatures of our age.
Each new situation requires a new architecture.
It must be understood that every architecture is bound to its time and manifests itself only in vital tasks and through the materials of its age. It has never been otherwise.
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
