“But
I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has
to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that
to change the environment is to change behavior.”

“The profession
of architecture is an adventurous one. It is a profession on the edge,
poised between art and science, between the courage to invent and the
prudence of history. Architecture is the most wonderful profession
in the world. Because this is a small planet, where everything has
already been discovered, designing is still one of the greatest possible
adventures.”
