Quotes
-
(Himself) : I started to use the fish as an element in my work because I was angry about postmodernism. I felt that if the classical architecture, which the postmodernists are copying came from man, why not go before man and use the fish.
-
(Himself) : I've always enjoyed taking on strange, small projects because they're projects that nobody wants to do. They can be challenging. I enjoy taking something that's absolutely nothing and making it better and more important than it was intended to be. To this day I'll add a room to somebody's house. I find that such small projects allow me more freedom than designing a house, which is one of the most liberating architectural projects you can get. Even just a little addition can be exciting. I use it to experiment with materials and ideas.

(Himself) : I don't take myself seriously, I'm not going to change the world. I'm very serious about my work but I don't position it or feel that it is going to change the universe. There are many more important things that are going to change the universe that I have no control over, so I just try to do my best work.
