It Is Not With Architecture That One

The Rule Is The Worst Thing. You Just Want To Break It.

Right Angles Don't Attract Me. Nor Straight, Hard And Inflexible Lines Created By Man.

I Have Always Accepted And Respected All Other Schools Of Architecture, From The Chill And Elemental Structures Of Mies Van Der Rohe To The Imagination And Delirium Of Gaudi. I Must Design What Pleases Me In A Way That Is Naturally Linked To My Roots And The Country Of My Origin.

I Search For Surprise In My Architecture. A Work Of Art Should Cause The Emotion Of Newness.

A Church Is Something Very Beautiful. It Is Nice When People Feel Happy In It. But I Am Not A Religious Man. Look At Us, And Then At The Infinity Of Space. We Are Rather Small Insignificant Creatures, Wouldn’t You Say?
