There Are Places That Are So Designed

When People Condemn Me For Designing Iconic Buildings In Cities And Not Having An Idea What A City Is, They Haven't Done Their Homework. I Started In Urban Design And City Planning. It's Just That When I Got Out Of School There Wasn't Much Of A Market For That. There Still Isn't.

Many People Put A Green Button On Their Collar And Feel Good, Just Like A Lot Of People Put An American Flag On Their Lapels And Feel Patriotic. It's Not Enough.

I Don't Micromanage The Interiors. People Ask Me To And I Say No. I Don't Want To Control Everything.

Those Who Say Only Artists And Architects Can Create Are The Ones Who Are Elitist.

I Like The Idea Of Collaboration - It Pushes You. It's A Richer Experience.
