I'm Often Called An Old-fashioned Modernist. But

The Huge Problem In Our Society Is The Enormous Ignorance Of The Ideas That Underlie Modern Art.

I've Learned That In Order To Achieve What I Wanted, It Made More Sense To Negotiate Than To Defend The Autonomy Of My Work By Pounding My Fist On The Table.

Large-scale Public Projects Require The Agreement Of Large Numbers Of People.

Architecture Is Involved With The World, But At The Same Time It Has A Certain Autonomy. This Autonomy Cannot Be Explained In Terms Of Traditional Logic Because The Most Interesting Parts Of The Work Are Non-verbal. They Operate Within The Terms Of The Work, Like Any Art.
