In this tour around the world I was not interested in contemporary buildings because I had seen contemporary buildings actually until they came out of my ears in a sense.

And exciting buildings are fine periodically.

If you look at the buildings, you'll find that one part looks as if it was designed by one man, and you go around and look at another facade and it looks as if it was designed by another man, you see.

Because, if we understand how a building is to be produced and we find a way that it can be more simply produced, then obviously we are contributing to building better buildings more easily.

I have been criticized rather strenuously by painters and sculptors for not incorporating their work in our buildings.

We build buildings which are terribly restless. And buildings don't go anywhere. They shouldn't be restless.
