I've Always Been Interested In Combining Architecture

As A Woman, I'm Expected To Want Everything To Be Nice And To Be Nice Myself. A Very English Thing. I Don't Design Nice Buildings - I Don't Like Them. I Like Architecture To Have Some Raw, Vital, Earthy Quality.

It's Very Important For Cities All Around The World To Reinvent Themselves, And Glasgow Is A Good Example Of That. The Scots Are Very Nice. I Don't Think They Are Burdened By Their History.

I Can't Focus When There's Too Many Things Around. Whenever I Used To Go To The Office, I Used To Always Say, 'tidy Up.'

I Don't Think That Architecture Is Only About Shelter, Is Only About A Very Simple Enclosure. It Should Be Able To Excite You, To Calm You, To Make You Think.

One Has To Strive For A Very Open Liberal Society.
