People Say I Design Architectural Icons. If

Architecture Is Really About Well-being. I Think That People Want To Feel Good In A Space ... On The One Hand It's About Shelter, But It's Also About Pleasure.

All The Privileged Can Travel, See Different Worlds, Not Everyone Can. I Think It Is Important For People To Have An Interesting Locale Nearby.

You Don't Always Have To Show Art In What's Called A White Box; You Can Have A Kind Of Complexity Within An Exhibit Which Actually Respects The Art As Well.

Obviously For Some People There Is A Big Connection Between Music And The Way You Can Create A Space.

Of Course I Believe Imaginative Architecture Can Make A Difference To People's Lives, But I Wish It Was Possible To Divert Some Of The Effort We Put Into Ambitious Museums And Galleries Into The Basic Architectural Building Blocks Of Society.
