Modern buildings of our time are so huge that one must group them. Often the space between these buildings is as important as the buildings themselves.

I always think of buildings in their settings, but so do other architects.

And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.

Architecture is restricted to such a limited vocabulary. A building is either a high-rise or a perimeter block or a town house.

My buildings are more famous than me.

You can't have the finest buildings if they're not in focus. They become like nice cars parked on the street.

I love buildings that aren't purpose-built.

The space within becomes the reality of the building.

If there is on earth a house with many mansions, it is the house of words.

My buildings are like my children, so I cannot have favorites.
