So we can't go backwards, we can only go where the evolutionary trajectory is taking us and attune our ideas about ourselves and our existence to that course.

The huge problem in our society is the enormous ignorance of the ideas that underlie modern art.

The multiplicity of ideas is what I'm interested in.

Do I provoke as a method of investigation? Of course. That's the essence of architecture. Do I do it with gusto? I do.

Look around at day-to-day life for ideas, and it finds its way into your work.

We're producing spaces that accommodate human activity. And what I'm interested in is not the styling of that, but the relationship of that as it enhances that activity. And that directly connects to ideas of city-making.
