- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We conventionally divide space into private and public realms, and we know these legal distinctions very well because we've become experts at protecting our private property and private space. But we're less attuned to the nuances of the public.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Architects typically inherit programmes or sites. We maybe twist the programme a little bit, bring our own invention into it, and we feel perfectly happy when we walk away. It doesn't feel like quite enough.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the 1970s, New York was known as a place of great artistic production. Slowly, my city went from a place of production to a place of consumption.

I think idiosyncrasy is great.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hate digital calendars, so I use pen and paper or the palm of my hand for my daily schedule. I get much more satisfaction out of physically crossing things out than deleting.
- Knife
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many tools are indispensable for my work, from a utility knife to parametric-modeling software, like Digital Project. But it's important not to confuse the tool for the content, as some designers under 30 do.
- Live

- Nov 07, 2020
I can't live without my 15-inch MacBook Pro. I drag it everywhere I go. I love having a big screen with me at all times, especially in transit.
- Cracking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I cannot read on a Kindle. I love the physical experience of holding a book, cracking it open, and the process of making the right half weigh less than the left half. I only read hardcover books because I like the resistance and the presence on a bookshelf.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Whenever I ask Siri for directions or a recommendation, I also ask her a trick question. Her answers are usually wacky. She scolds me for cursing, which I love, but she has no problem with ethics. If I say, 'Remind me to rob a bank at 3 P.M.,' she responds, 'Here's your reminder for today at 3 P.M.: Rob a bank. Shall I create it?'
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We try to make buildings last long and be resilient but also be not so idiosyncratic that they can't change.
- Practice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My interest was always to do interdisciplinary work with space. I thought of architecture as one strand in a multimedia practice.
- Architecture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We're always taught that we're building for permanence, but why? I like the idea of a prosthetic architecture! When a section is removed, the building readjusts its weight distribution, like a living body.
- Grateful
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Architecture has been male-dominated forever, and I am a grateful beneficiary of the women's movement.
- Construction
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Architects and food at a construction site equals indigestion. We're always looking for details that haven't been executed correctly.
- Father
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mother and father had been through the Holocaust. The family was wiped out. I grew up never knowing aunts, uncles, or grandparents.
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a real survivor's instinct.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a kid, I imagined being an artist.
- Choreograph
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The public brings our buildings to life, and we try to choreograph a lot of things, but our most successful work functions in unanticipated ways. Like the Blur Building. When little kids got in there, they cried or laughed or ran around. And no matter how much theory we put on top of it, it didn't matter: it worked.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't imagine having a spouse who is not an architect. It's hard to put myself in the shoes of other couples where each partner brings totally different things from their day to the table.
- Exercise
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In my thesis, I made an intellectual exercise out of creating a pair of buildings that were a repeat but slightly different - dissonant things make me uncomfortable.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We were kind of arrogant when we started and became really humbled as we were doing architecture. It's really hard to work with budgets and deadlines and all of these collaborators and all of these voices and special interests.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Theatre is real-time - you get that real-time audience reaction, which is fantastic. And with art pieces, people don't ever have to explain themselves. You can do something and really follow a research. With architecture, you have to be much more public. You have to build consensus. You have to work within the law. There are more complexities.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Architecture is a technology. And it's involved in all of the different networks of systems that produce architecture - including politics, economics, social and cultural conditions. So architecture is already in technology.
- Important
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In a progressively privatised city, the defence of public space, the production of new public space, and saving what is public really for the public is very important.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Being a New Yorker and someone that goes to MoMA as a patron, I want it to be good.
- Planning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe in planning logics where you have neighbourhoods, and you don't just do one building at a time.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't really know what 'starchitect' means. I take it as a pejorative because it means that you're sought-after.
- Architecture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was a rebel. I never wanted to build. We thought of architecture as intellectually bankrupt and slightly corrupt, and I was always more interested in other forms of discourse.
