I am seeking for the bridge which leans from the visible to the invisible through reality.

Instead of building walls, we should be building bridges.

We build too many walls and not enough bridges.

It's most satisfying to have an effect on the public realm - deep down I think it's what every architect wants to do.

Bridges become frames for looking at the world around us.

There are so many constraints on the architect that public buildings almost never feel free or enjoyable.

Hopefully, we can build bridges, but we also have to draw lines.

I hate bridges. I'm always very insecure on bridges.

The general public, formerly profoundly indifferent to everything to do with building, has been shaken out of its torpor; personal interest in architecture as something that concerns every one of us in our daily lives has been very widely aroused; and the broad line of its future development are already clearly discernible.

You can't build another bridge that's so close to ours. It's stupid.
