There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.

There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.

[The design process is in limbo.] We have not had any contact at all, ... I can see that it's precarious.

I don't think all buildings have to be iconic, but the history of the world has shown us that cultures build iconic buildings for their major public buildings.

Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design.

A lot of people don't get it, but I design from the inside out so that the finished product looks inevitable somehow. I think it's important to create spaces that people like to be in, that are humanistic.
