Architecture is a dangerous mix of power and importance.
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.
Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
Architecture is a language. When you are very good, you can be a poet.
Architecture should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.

Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins.
