Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

We want people to experience art and think about it. The art reflects our time, it is about our culture.

I believe people can have a profound experience by being surrounded by something beautiful - that's what I aim for. My sculpture is about the way you feel when you're standing under it and inside it. It's experiential art.

There is a profound ethic to architecture which is different from the other arts.

I've always seen architecture as a healing art, not just as a beautification art.

Art is great. At its best, it engages the intellect and challenges the spirit; it connects us across history and reminds us of our humanity.

What's interesting about architects is, we always have tried to justify beauty by looking to nature, and arguably, beautiful architecture has always been looking at a model of nature.

I think the artistic side of architecture was natural to me. My mother was an artist and a poet.

As humans we look at things and think about what we've looked at. We treasure it in a kind of private art gallery.

In the past, art was admired and revered from afar. Today, there is more of an interactive relationship between the art and the person who admires it.
