We Have To Have Dreams, Even If

We Have To Have Dreams, Even If They Never Come True.

In Architecture It Isn't Enough To Just Have The Right Building That Works Well. It Can Also Be Beautiful. It Can Also Be Different. It Can Create Surprise. And Surprise Is The Main Thing In A Work Of Art. [] I Like And Respect Brasí­lia Very Much. It Is A Simple City, A Rational One. I Always Defend The Urban Design Of Brasí­lia

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.

For Me Beauty Is Valued More Than Anything - The Beauty That Is Manifest In A Curved Line Or In An Act Of Creativity.

My Work Is Not About "form Follows Function," But "form Follows Beauty" Or, Even Better, "form Follows Feminine."
