The frightening thought that what you draw may become a building makes for reasoned lines.

Buildings should serve people, not the other way around.

Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.

My buildings will be my legacy... they will speak for me long after I'm gone.

In Los Angeles, by the time you're 35, you're older than most of the buildings.
