Rome has not seen a modern building in more than half a century. It is a city frozen in time.

Even at the United Nations, where legend has it that the building was designed so that there could be no corner offices, the expanse of glass in individual offices is said to be a dead giveaway as to rank. Five windows are excellent, one window not so great.

I have designed the most buildings of any living American architect.

I am but an architectural composer.

As a designer, the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost.
