art believe school
I believe very strongly, and have fought since many years ago - at least over 30 years ago - to get architecture not just within schools, but architecture talked about under history, geography, science, technology, art.
cities city-planning architecture
Architecture is a slow business, and city planning even slower.
white black grey
I don't understand why everyone has to wear black, grey and white.
mistake thinking artist
As an artist, what do you think the biggest mistake you can make is? My vote for the biggest mistake is being afraid of making mistakes.
space architecture building
Architecture is about public space held by buildings.
technology long problem
Technology cannot be an end in itself but must aim at solving long term social and ecological problems.
beautiful ghetto blue
It is my belief that exciting things happen when a variety of overlapping activities designed for all people-the old and the young, the blue and white collar, the local inhabitant and the visitor, different activities for different occasions-meet in a flexible environment, opening up the possibility of interaction outside the confines of institutional limits. When this takes place, deprived areas welcome dynamic places for those who live, work and visit; places where all can participate, rather than less or more beautiful ghettos.
use policy materials
There has to be policies about that, about what materials we use and so on.
beautiful journey views
Everyone has the right to walk from one end of the city to the other in secure and beautiful spaces. Everybody has the right to go by public transport. Everybody has the right to an unhampered view down their street, not full of railings, signs and rubbish.
people important made
Dyslexia, though, made me realise that people who say 'but you can't do that' aren't actually very important. I don't take 'no' too seriously.
responsibility architect
As architects we have a responsibility to society
believe passion people
My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people.
past trying architecture
Architecture is measured against the past, you build in the present, and try to imagine the future.
principles architecture profit
Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times.
