Ninety Percent Of The Buildings We Live

I Used To Read More When I Was A Kid Than I Do Now. It Was All Sort Of Fuel For The Fire To Teach You How To Think And How To Make Things And It Informed The Architecture That I Was Doing. It's Better Coming In With That History And That Kind Of Knowledge And Depth Of Understanding Of Humanity That Is Very Important For Building Buildings - For Understanding People And How They Should Live And How You Could Make Your Lives Better And Stuff Like That.

On Certain Projects, On Big Public Projects, People Definitely Are Interested In Making Them Greener, But On Smaller Projects With Tight Budgets It Can Be Harder.

You Have To Be Optimistic. I Still Have Doubts And Conflicts, But The Bottom Line Is, I Believe In The Future.

One Of My Greatest Influences Is The Italian Artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Just Because You Are An Architect And Make Decent Buildings Does Not Mean That You Can Suddenly Become A Set Designer For One Of The Best Avant-garde Dancers In The World.
