Quotation

I don't care what people call me, labels have the negative value of making smaller boundaries for people.

I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.

I don't believe in morality in architecture. In designing hardware to be used every day, it

was important to keep both the human aspects and the machine in mind. What looks good also often feels good.

man obsessed with communicating the meaning of every element of his work. His soft, muted colors reinforce this concern for symbolism".
