Buildings are always better than drawings and models.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always think of buildings in their settings, but so do other architects.
Architecture is my work, and I've spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.
There is still a real need for good quality architecture, not paper architecture, but the real stuff.
A building is no good if someone's got to explain to you why it's good. You can't say you don't know enough about architecture - that's ridiculous. It's got to work on many levels.
When drawings of the main buildings I have designed in the last five years are juxtaposed, the fact that they all involve the pursuit of certain configurations is obvious to anyone.
Architecture is art, nothing else.
Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It's about making the world a better place, and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it.
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design.
