I Can't Just Decide Myself

I Found Myself Starting Architecture With A Deep Social, Jewish, Liberal Conscience, And The Belief That Architecture Is For The People. It Was A Do-gooder Base; I Was Born And Raised That Way. I Was For Blacks, Whites, Italians, Poles, Whatever.

People Say, "this Is The World The Way It Is, And Don't Bother Me." Then When Somebody Does Something Different, Real Architecture, The Push-back Is Amazing. People Resist It. At First It's New And Scary.

There Are A Great Many Things About Architecture That Are Hidden From The Untrained Eye.

Take What Comes Your Way. Do The Best With It. Be Responsible As You Can And Something Good Will Happen.

I Don't Micromanage The Interiors. People Ask Me To And I Say No. I Don't Want To Control Everything.
