Architecture is a dangerous mix of power and importance.
Beauty isn't what I'm primarily interested in [in architecture]. I think appropriateness is more important.
Infrastructure is much more important than architecture.
Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.
People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming.
There's nothing Dutch about my architecture.
The beauty of my profession [architecture] lies in its randomness and surprise. And don't think I can choose my projects. I have to build what's offered to me.
Escape from the architecture ghetto is one of the major drivers and has been from the very beginning.
I wanted to disconnect from contemporary architecture
