Surprise Is Key In All

It Is Not With Architecture That One Can Disseminate Any Political Ideology.

Architecture Was My Way Of Expressing My Ideals: To Be Simple, To Create A World Equal To Everyone, To Look At People With Optimism, That Everyone Has A Gift. I Don’t Want Anything But General Happiness. Why Is That Bad?

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

Turning 102 Is Crap, And There Is Nothing To Commemorate.

I Am A Brazilian Before I Am An Architect. I Cannot Separate The Two.
