All My Work Is Much

I Begin By Imagining An Artwork Verbally. I Try To Describe In Writing What The Project Is, What It Is Trying To Do. I Need To Understand The Artwork Without Giving It A Specific Materiality Or Solid Form.

I Always Give The Analogy Of The Earth At Night Picture, Of 7.3 Billion Of Us, Right? And Everyone Says, "well, That's Population." Well, If You Took The Entire World's Population And You Lived At The Density Of Manhattan Proper - Not A Bad Place To Live - How Much Space Do 7.3 Billion People Take Up? The State Of Colorado. At Which Point I End My Lectures, Because I Want You To Be Thinking ... Is This Really A Question Of Population, Or Is This A Question Of Land Use And Resource Consumption? And Let's Face It, The Top 1.3 Billion Of Us Are Doing All The Damage. Sorry.

War Is Not Just A Victory Or Loss ... People Die.

The Process I Go Through In The Art And The Architecture, I Actually Want It To Be Almost Childlike. Sometimes I Think It's Magical.

I Left Science, Then I Went Into Art, But I Approach Things Very Analytically. I Choose To Pursue Both Art And Architecture As Completely Separate Fields Rather Than Merging Them.
