0ou cannot simply put
something into place. 0ou
have to absorb what you see
around you, what is use in
the land and then use that
knowledge along with
contemporary thinking to
interpret what you see.
I do not believe architecture
should speak too much. It
should remain silent and let
nature in the guise of
sunlight and wind
I like the ruins because
what remains is not a total
design, but the clarity of
thought, the baked structure,
the spirit of the thing.
my hand is the e9tension ofthe thinking processthe
creative process
Without this spirit ,
modernist architecture
cannot fully e9ist. Since
there is often a mismatch
between the logic and the
spirit of modernism. I use
architecture to reconcile the
two.
I believe that the waypeople live can be directed a
little by architecture
