We Have To Have Dreams, Even If

My Ambition Has Always Been To Reduce A Building's Support To A Minimum. The More We Diminish Supporting Structures, The More Audacious And Important The Architecture Is. That Has Been My Life's Work.

Here, Then, Is What I Wanted To Tell You Of My Architecture. I Created It With Courage And Idealism, But Also With An Awareness Of The Fact That What Is Important Is Life, Friends And Attempting To Make This Unjust World A Better Place In Which To Live.

Of Course, I Have Given My Engineers Some Headaches Over The Years, But They Go With Me. I Have Always Wanted My Buildings To Be As Light As Possible, To Touch The Ground Gently, To Swoop And Soar, And To Surprise.

We Have To Have Dreams, Even If They Never Come True.

When Students Leave College, They Are Like Children Who Know Nothing About The Problems Of Life, And Don't Have A Political Stance.
