I Begin By Imagining An Artwork Verbally.

I Think I've Always Had An Activist Stance, Yet At The Same Time, The Other Side Of Me - And This Is Where Some People Just Don't Get It, Or They'd Prefer It If The Work Was A Lot Uglier, A Lot Louder - I Have This Personality Where I Just Want To Put Something Out That's A Fact And Then Let You Interpret It. It's Almost As If You Might Barely Notice It, You Might Walk Right By It, But You Have To Pay Attention.

I Loved School. I Studied Like Crazy. I Was A Class A Nerd.

Architecture Is Like A Mythical Fantastic. It Has To Be Experienced. It Can't Be Described. We Can Draw It Up And We Can Make Models Of It, But It Can Only Be Experienced As A Complete Whole.

Growing Up, I Thought I Was White. It Didn't Occur To Me I Was Asian-american Until I Was Studying Abroad In Denmark And There Was A Little Bit Of Prejudice.

It Terrified Me To Have An Idea That Was Solely Mine To Be No Longer A Part Of My Mind, But Totally Public.
