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.

Being a New Yorker and someone that goes to MoMA as a patron, I want it to be good.

I believe in planning logics where you have neighbourhoods, and you don't just do one building at a time.

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.
