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

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

  • You don't know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don't talk to you. There's very little interaction.

  • A city building, you experience when you walk a suburban building, you experience when you drive.

  • We are creating a unique experience. It's starts with how you see the building from a distance.
