To Fly We Have To

We Were Unusually Brought Up; There Was No Gender Differentiation. I Was Never Thought Of As Any Less Than My Brother.

I Was Probably The First Kid In My High School To Go To Yale. I Applied Almost As A Lark. Then, When I Got There, I Was The Dumbest Person In Your Class.

My Dad Was Dean Of Fine Arts At The University. I Was Casting Bronzes In The School Foundry. I Was Using The University As A Playground.

I Had Very Few Friends. We Always Ate Dinner With Our Parents. We Didn't Want To Go Out. American Adolescence Was A Lot Wilder Than I Would Have Felt Comfortable With.

I Loved Logic, Math, Computer Programming. I Loved Systems And Logic Approaches. And So I Just Figured Architecture Is This Perfect Combination.
