Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

What I'm good at is making art.

I create art. It's kinda abstract.

I work a little bit like a sculptor. When I start, my first idea for a building is with the material. I believe architecture is about that. It's not about paper, it's not about forms. It's about space and material.

If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.

I continue to write essays about art. The visual is always part of my work, and it gives me immense pleasure to make up the words of art and create them verbally rather than build them.

I am interested in art as a means of living a life; not as a means of making a living.

If what you want to do is make good art, decide what's good and try to imitate it.

The main thing in making art often is letting go of your expectation and your idea.

When I concentrate on a specific site or place for which I am going to design a building, I try to plumb its depths, its form, its history and its sensuous qualities.
