Architecture Is Art, Nothing Else.

Scientific Naturalism Is A Story That Reduces Reality To Physical Particles And Impersonal Laws, [and] Portrays Life As A Meaningless Competition Among Organisms That Exist Only To Survive And Reproduce.

In My Own Work, I'd Say I'm A Classicist, But I Look Everywhere For My Solutions. I Don't Study The Toilet-living Habits Of My Clients, Although That's A Popular Approach. First, I Think Of Every Building In History That Has Been Similar In Purpose. Then I Think Of The Functional Program - That's A Major Part Of The Study.

The Practice Of Architecture Is The Most Delightful Of All Pursuits. Also, Next To Agriculture, It Is The Most Necessary To Man. One Must Eat, One Must Have Shelter. Next To Religious Worship Itself, It Is The Spiritual Handmaiden Of Our Deepest Convictions.

I Hate The Celebrity Architect Thing. I Just Do My Work. The Press Comes Up With This Stuff And It Sticks. I Hate The Word Starchitect. Stuff Like That Comes From Mean-spirited, Untalented Journalists. It's Demeaning.

I Guess I Want To Make Money Just Like Other People, Perhaps More Than Most People.
