I Like Talking To Priests,

For Me Beauty Is Valued More Than Anything - The Beauty That Is Manifest In A Curved Line Or In An Act Of Creativity.

In Architecture It Isn't Enough To Just Have The Right Building That Works Well. It Can Also Be Beautiful. It Can Also Be Different. It Can Create Surprise. And Surprise Is The Main Thing In A Work Of Art. [] I Like And Respect Brasí­lia Very Much. It Is A Simple City, A Rational One. I Always Defend The Urban Design Of Brasí­lia

The Challenge Of A Cathedral Is Very Good For Architectural Inventiveness.

We Hated Bauhaus. It Was A Bad Time In Architecture. They Just Didn’t Have Any Talent. All They Had Were Rules. Even For Knives And Forks They Created Rules. Picasso Would Never Have Accepted Rules. The House Is Like A Machine? No! The Mechanical Is Ugly. The Rule Is The Worst Thing. You Just Want To Break It.

I Search For Surprise In My Architecture. A Work Of Art Should Cause The Emotion Of Newness.
