I Cannot Look At Modern Buildings Without Thinking Of Historical Ones.

The Greatest Architectural Illusion Is Not Baroque Fancy Or Victorian Flamboyant, But Minimalism.

I'm Driven By Issues, Not Driven To Be Political.

The Thing That I Champion Is Sustainability. My Terror Is That Suddenly We See It As A Luxury, Not An Essential. That's A Danger.

Every Decently-made Object, From A House To A Lamp Post To A Bridge, Spoon Or Egg Cup, Is Not Just A Piece Of 'stuff' But A Physical Embodiment Of Human Energy, Testimony To The Magical Ability Of Our Species To Take Raw Materials And Turn Them Into Things Of Use, Value And Beauty.
