Architecture Is Like Writing. You Have To

I'm Trying To Discover - Invent, I Suppose - An Architecture, And Forms Of Urban Planning, That Do Something Of The Same Thing In A Contemporary Way. I Started Out Trying To Create Buildings That Would Sparkle Like Isolated Jewels; Now I Want Them To Connect, To Form A New Kind Of Landscape, To Flow Together With Contemporary Cities And The Lives Of Their Peoples.

It Is Insufficient For Architecture Today To Directly Implement An Existing Building Typology; It Instead Requires Architects To Carefully Examine The Whole Area With New Interventions And Programmatic Typologies

People Say I Design Architectural Icons. If I Design A Building And It Becomes An Icon, That's Ok.

The Goal Posts Might Shift, But You Should Have A Goal.

I Am Equally Proud Of All Of My Architectural Projects. It's Always Rewarding To See An Ambitious Design Become Reality.
