In Iraq, Many Of My Female Friends

I Find Industrial Cities Exciting. I Like Their Toughness.

As A Woman, I'm Expected To Want Everything To Be Nice And To Be Nice Myself. A Very English Thing. I Don't Design Nice Buildings - I Don't Like Them. I Like Architecture To Have Some Raw, Vital, Earthy Quality.

Architecture Is Particularly Difficult For Women; There's No Reason For It To Be. I Don't Want To Blame Men Or Society, But I Think It Was For A Long Time, The Clients Were Men, The Building Industry Is All Male.

One Has To Strive For A Very Open Liberal Society.

I Have Always Appreciated Those Who Dare To Experiment With Materials And Proportions.
