“When I was studying architecture in the 1970s, it was intellectually bankrupt.”

“In my thesis, I made an intellectual exercise out of creating a pair of buildings that were a repeat but slightly different - dissonant things make me uncomfortable.”

“We try to make buildings last long and be resilient but also be not so idiosyncratic that they can't change.”

“You don't need to spend a lot of money on stuff when you have amazing architecture.”

“Chicago is a city built on architecture, and there are plenty of buildings to scale.”

“The Egyptian contribution to architecture was more concerned with remembering the dead than the living.”
