“Open your mind to the possibility that the walls of your building can be thick, can occupy substantial volume – even actual usable space – and need not be merely thin membranes which have no depth.”
“Beauty is less important than quality.”
“The good building is not one which hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built.”
