Everybody's An Artist. Unfortunately We Don't Treat

I Would Like To Make A Building As Intellectually Driven As It Is Sculptural And As Positive As It Would Be Acceptable To Hope.

Look, Architecture Has A Lot Of Places To Hide Behind, A Lot Of Excuses. "the Client Made Me Do This." "the City Made Me Do This." "oh, The Budget." I Don't Believe That Anymore.

When I Start My Class I Ask The Students To Write Their Signatures On Pieces Of Paper And Put Them On A Table. I Have Them Look At Them, And I Point Out, "they're All Different, Aren't They? That's You, That's You, That's You, That's You."

Picasso Could Use Everyone's Paintings And Transform Them Into His Own. He Was Using Ideas From All Of His Contemporaries.

I Don't Know Why People Hire Architects And Then Tell Them What To Do.
