A city, far from being a cluster of buildings, is actually a sequence of spaces enclosed and defined by buildings.

Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.

In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives.

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

Architects have made architecture too complex. We need to simplify it and use a language that everyone can understand.

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.

My apartment reflects my views as an architect. It is minimal, austere. The architecture doesn't impose itself upon you. The apartment is a stage for other things to take place.

Architecture is basically the design of interiors, the art of organizing interior space.

Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
