Surprise Is Key In All Art.

Humanity Needs Dreams To Be Able To Survive The Miseries Of Daily Existence, Even If Only For An Instant.

My Ambition Has Always Been To Reduce A Building's Support To A Minimum. The More We Diminish Supporting Structures, The More Audacious And Important The Architecture Is. That Has Been My Life's Work.

I Like Talking To Priests, To Catholics. Everyone Has Their Beliefs.

Architecture Was My Way Of Expressing My Ideals: To Be Simple, To Create A World Equal To Everyone, To Look At People With Optimism, That Everyone Has A Gift. I Don’t Want Anything But General Happiness. Why Is That Bad?

My Architecture Is Easy To Understand. And Enjoy. I Hope It Also Is Hard To Forget.
