I Don't Know Why People

Some Cultures Tried To Stop People From Expressing Themselves. In Mao's China, For Example, The Communists Tried To Stop Individual Expression. For Them The Payoff Was A Society Of Equality. The Problem Of Course Is That It Didn't Work.

The Present Is Filled With Flotsam And Irony And Chaos And Disorder In All Arenas, Political And Sociological. I Think We Have To Work In The Present Even If It's Awkward, Even If It's Not Necessarily Good, Even If We Don't Understand It Ourselves. You Only Find Out 10, Maybe 20 Years Later What Was Going On.

We Live And Work In Boxes. People Don't Even Notice That.

There Are Places That Are So Designed They're Unlivable.

Artists Dismiss Me As An Architect, So I'm Not In Their Box, And Architects Dismiss Me As An Artist, So I'm Not In Their Box.
