I Think Of Myself As

Humanity Needs Dreams To Be Able To Survive The Miseries Of Daily Existence, Even If Only For An Instant.

Architecture Will Always Express The Technical And Social Progress Of The Country In Which It Is Carried Out. If We Wish To Give It The Human Content That It Lacks, We Must Participate In The Political Struggle.

I Was Attracted By The Curve — The Liberated, Sensual Curve Suggested By The Possibilities Of New Technology Yet So Often Recalled In Venerable Old Baroque Churches.

A Church Is Something Very Beautiful. It Is Nice When People Feel Happy In It. But I Am Not A Religious Man. Look At Us, And Then At The Infinity Of Space. We Are Rather Small Insignificant Creatures, Wouldn’t You Say?

I Have Always Accepted And Respected All Other Schools Of Architecture, From The Chill And Elemental Structures Of Mies Van Der Rohe To The Imagination And Delirium Of Gaudi. I Must Design What Pleases Me In A Way That Is Naturally Linked To My Roots And The Country Of My Origin.
