I don't think all buildings have to be iconic, but the history of the world has shown us that cultures build iconic buildings for their major public buildings.

Clothes are unique sculptures, dependent on a supporting human form and created to move.

Societies raise their grandest monuments to what their cultures value most highly. As the tallest buildings in a city noted for tall buildings, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were certainly monumental.

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.

People think our work is monumental because it's art, but human beings do much bigger things: they build giant airports, highways for thousands of miles, much, much bigger than what we create.

In fact, it will be very easy to climb the building because of its shape and architecture.

Architecture is invention.

There is a powerful need for symbolism, and that means the architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart. There is a powerful need for symbolism, and that means the architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart.
