The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture.
Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separated problems. If we split life into separated problems we split the possibilities to make good building art.
The most difficult problems are naturally not involved in the search for forms for contemporary life. It is a question of working our way to forms behind which real human values lie.
Human life is a combination of tragedy and comedy. The shapes and designs that surround us are the music accompanying this tragedy and this comedy.
Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.
I’m the interpreter. I’m the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I was trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that’s what I want to do.
There are times in my life when I just want to be by myself.
There are certain things I want to keep to me. I don’t discuss my private life.
Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
