But Now, More And More,

All Those Involved In The Construction Of An Architectural Design, From The Architect To The Builder, Have An Attachment To The Architecture, Although It's Difficult To Quantify The Attachment.

In The West There Has Always Been The Attempt To Try Make The Religious Building, Whether It's A Medieval Or Renaissance Church, An Eternal Object For The Celebration Of God. The Material Chosen, Such As Stone, Brick, Or Concrete, Is Meant To Eternally Preserve What Is Inside.

I Hope That America As A Whole, And Especially Its Architects, Will Become More Seriously Involved In Producing A New Architectural Culture That Would Bring The Nation To The Apex - Where It Has Stood Before - And Lead The World.

I Create Enclosed Spaces Mainly By Means Of Thick Concrete Walls. The Primary Reason Is To Create A Place For The Individual, A Zone For Oneself Within Society. When The External Factors Of A City's Environment Require The Wall To Be Without Openings, The Interior Must Be Especially Full And Satisfying.

If I Can Create Some Space That People Haven't Experienced Before And If It Stays With Them Or Gives Them A Dream For The Future, That's The Kind Of Structure I Seek To Create.
