I Hate Vacations. If You Can Build

Ninety-eight Percent Are Boxes, Which Tells Me That A Lot Of People Are In Denial. We Live And Work In Boxes. People Don't Even Notice That. Most Of What's Around Us Is Banal. We Live With It. We Accept It As Inevitable. People Say, "this Is The World The Way It Is, And Don't Bother Me." Then When Somebody Does Something Different, Real Architecture, The Push-back Is Amazing. People Resist It. At First It's New And Scary.

Architecture Is Basically The Design Of Interiors, The Art Of Organizing Interior Space.

To Sum Up The State Of Architecture In America: Ninety Percent Of The Buildings We Live In And Around Aren't Architecture. No, That's Not Right - 98 Percent.

I Got Everything From Someone. Nobody Can Be Original.

I Like To Be Buttoned Onto Tradition. The Thing Is To Improve It, Twist It And Mold It; To Make Something New Of It; Not To Deny It. The Riches Of History Can Be Plucked At Any Point.
