The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.

The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity, especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples, no ambitions.

I'd like to do a lot of things - whether in design or architecture or business.

So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent, as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.

Japanese architecture is very much copied in this country and in Europe.
