I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.

In other words, each piece of the building must look as though it was designed for that particular building.

Building codes are a good thing. People who throw rocks at inspectors are being naive. It's a lot like police officers; we want them around unless they stop us for a ticket. It's the same with inspectors.

I believe buildings are alive, and when you want to make a change, you have to change in the same symphony.

I would not be at all surprised to find out... that the dimensions of buildings affect us in ways we don't guess.

Perhaps at a later point important developments will be traced back to September 11. But for now we do not know which of the many scenarios will actually hold in the future.

If there really is no new way to be found, we are not afraid to stick with the old one that we found previously. So, I do not make every building different.

I think there will be a 200-story skyscraper someday. However, it will require a developer who will not think in conventional terms and for whom economic restraints won't apply.

Are you familiar with 9/11? Building 7? You know what was in there? All the Enron stuff. I guess that building went down on its own.

The Pentagon is actually a 10-story building, five up and five down.
