“Before 2000, everything was about being contextual, and buildings were...” — Bernard Tschumi Quote

“Before 2000, everything was about being contextual, and buildings were supposed to be good citizens.”

“I never talked about architecture with my father, which I regret.”

“I wear the same black suit. I have five of them. I pair them with a red scarf. I was wearing a red scarf when I won the first architectural competition of my career.”

“I happen to love buildings, and my passion is bringing people together.”

“I am all for greening tall buildings, but I'm also very keen to note that greening a building doesn't cope with the problem of the tall building in the texture of the city.”

“I'm sorry to say, but 85% of so-called 'green' firms make some of the ugliest buildings that were ever made. So for God's sake, I don't want to be categorized with them.”
