I Hate Vacations. If You Can Build

I Used To Think That Each Phase Of Life Was The End. But Now That My View On Life Is More Or Less Fixed, I Believe That Change Is A Great Thing. In Fact, It's The Only Real Absolute In The World.

I Like The Thought That What We Are To Do On This Earth Is Embellish It For Its Greater Beauty, So That Oncoming Generations Can Look Back To The Shapes We Leave Here And Get The Same Thrill That I Get In Looking Back At Theirs - At The Parthenon, At Chartres Cathedral.

The First Complete Sentence Out Of My Mouth Was Probably That Line About Consistency Being The Hobgoblin Of Small Minds.

We All See The World Differently. And Thank God For That. Otherwise, What A Boring World This Would Be.

In My Own Work, I'd Say I'm A Classicist, But I Look Everywhere For My Solutions. I Don't Study The Toilet-living Habits Of My Clients, Although That's A Popular Approach. First, I Think Of Every Building In History That Has Been Similar In Purpose. Then I Think Of The Functional Program - That's A Major Part Of The Study.
