As An Architect You Are A Builder.

When You Walk 25-30 Feet Above Ground, It Is A Miracle, Because You Are Still In The City ... But You Are Flying Above The City. You Are In The Middle Of Trees, And That Is A Moment Of Beauty.

Architects Have To Dream, We Have To Search For Our Atlantises, To Be Explorers, Adventurers, And Yet To Build Responsibly And Well.

Every Year I Spend One Month Just Sailing, But I Still Work When Im On The Boat. You Never Separate Work From Leisure. A Boat Is Like A Magic World, Like A Little Island.

Architecture Is Art, But Art Vastly Contaminated By Many Other Things. Contaminated In The Best Sense Of The Word – Fed, Fertilised By Many Things.

Architecture Is Art. I Don't Think You Should Say That Too Much, But It Is Art. I Mean, Architecture Is Many, Many Things. Architecture Is Science, Is Technology, Is Geography, Is Typography, Is Anthropology, Is Sociology, Is Art, Is History. You Know All This Comes Together. Architecture Is A Kind Of Bouillabaisse, An Incredible Bouillabaisse. And, By The Way, Architecture Is Also A Very Polluted Art In The Sense That It's Polluted By Life, And By The Complexity Of Things.
