There Is No Reason To Design Buildings

It Is Not The Right Angle That Attracts Me, Nor The Straight Line, Hard And Inflexible, Created By Man. What Attracts Me Is The Free And Sensual Curve - The Curve That I Find In The Mountains Of My Country, In The Sinuous Course Of Its Rivers, In The Body Of The Beloved Woman.

Life Is Very Fleeting. It’s Important To Be Gentle And Optimistic. We Look Behind And Think What We’ve Done In This Life Has Been Good. It Was Simple; It Was Modest. Everyone Creates Their Own Story And Moves On. That’s It. I Don’t Feel Particularly Important. What We Create Is Not Important. We’re Very Insignificant.

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?

It Was The Drawing That Led Me To Architecture, The Search For Light And Astonishing Forms.

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.
