The structure of life I have described in buildings - the structure which I believe to be objective - is deeply and inextricably connected with the human person, and with the innermost nature of human feeling.
I like to think of thoughts as living blossoms borne by the human tree.
And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.
When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.
