Sometimes I Lose A Whole Morning Waiting

When I Was Very Little My Mother Said I Used To Draw In The Air With My Fingers. I Needed A Pencil. Once I Could Hold One, I Have Drawn Every Day Since.

My Ambition Has Always Been To Reduce A Building's Support To A Minimum. The More We Diminish Supporting Structures, The More Audacious And Important The Architecture Is. That Has Been My Life's Work.

I Am A Brazilian Before I Am An Architect. I Cannot Separate The Two.

Architecture Was My Way Of Expressing My Ideals: To Be Simple, To Create A World Equal To Everyone, To Look At People With Optimism, That Everyone Has A Gift. I Don’t Want Anything But General Happiness. Why Is That Bad?

Surprise Is Key In All Art.
