I Think Of Myself As No More

I Have Always Accepted And Respected All Other Schools Of Architecture, From The Chill And Elemental Structures Of Mies Van Der Rohe To The Imagination And Delirium Of Gaudi. I Must Design What Pleases Me In A Way That Is Naturally Linked To My Roots And The Country Of My Origin.

Architecture Is My Work, And Ive Spent My Whole Life At A Drawing Board, But Life Is More Important Than Architecture. What Matters Is To Improve Human Beings.

In Architecture It Isn't Enough To Just Have The Right Building That Works Well. It Can Also Be Beautiful. It Can Also Be Different. It Can Create Surprise. And Surprise Is The Main Thing In A Work Of Art. [] I Like And Respect Brasí­lia Very Much. It Is A Simple City, A Rational One. I Always Defend The Urban Design Of Brasí­lia

My Work Is Not About "form Follows Function," But "form Follows Beauty" Or, Even Better, "form Follows Feminine."

I Pick Up My Pen. It Flows. A Building Appears. There It Is. There Is Nothing More To Say.
