I'm not mainly interested in what buildings mean as symbols or vehicles for ideas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Architecture is restricted to such a limited vocabulary. A building is either a high-rise or a perimeter block or a town house.
I don't think all buildings have to be iconic, but the history of the world has shown us that cultures build iconic buildings for their major public buildings.
I see my buildings as pieces of cities, and in my designs I try to make them into responsible and contributing citizens.
This monument is going to be built as a symbol.
I always think of buildings in their settings, but so do other architects.
Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
I love buildings that aren't purpose-built.
I'm very interested in architecture.
I cannot look at modern buildings without thinking of historical ones.
And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.
