Buildings

My buildings are like my children, so I cannot have favorites.

Beautiful Thing

Never

Nature
|
Nov 07, 2020

We try to respond as closely as we can to the nature of each city, to the traditions, to their expectations. I don't believe that architects should be imposing their style or their plans on every city in the world.

Business
|
Nov 07, 2020

Too many architects are just trying to make all of their buildings look like a brand, and that may be good for business, but that is terrible for the cities because they lose character. If I go to Paris, I go to see the beauty of Paris and the coherence of Paris.
