Beauty Isn't What I'm Primarily Interested In

I Wanted To Disconnect From Contemporary Architecture

I Like Fashion, Whether Or Not It's Overpriced, Because It Creates A Sense Of The Sublime With Relatively Few Means.

As An Architect, I Always Have Mixed Feelings. On The One Hand, Your Fingers Are Itching. As A Human Being, You Are Happy To Participate In The Indolence.

The Good Is Not A Category That Interests Me.

The Grid Makes The History Of Architecture And All Previous Lessons Of Urbanism Irrelevant. It Forces Manhattan's Builders To Develop A New System Of Formal Values, To Invent Strategies For The Distinction Of One Block From Another. The Grid's Two-dimensional Discipline Also Creates Undreamt-of Freedom For Three-dimensional Anarchy. The Grid Defines A New Balance Between Control And De-control In Which The City Can Be At The Same Time Ordered And Fluid, A Metropolis Of Rigid Chaos.
