I'm Interested In Conflict And Confrontation.

The Aesthetic Of Architecture Has To Be Rooted In A Broader Idea About Human Activities Like Walking, Relaxing And Communicating. Architecture Thinks About How These Activities Can Be Given Added Value.

My Buildings Don't Speak In Words But By Means Of Their Own Spaciousness.

Descriptions Of My Work Depress Me. They Make Me Feel Pinned Down.

I've Learned That In Order To Achieve What I Wanted, It Made More Sense To Negotiate Than To Defend The Autonomy Of My Work By Pounding My Fist On The Table.

So I Am Totally Aware That When I Defend The Autonomy Of Art I'm Going Counter To My Own Development. It's More An Instinctive Reaction, Meant To Protect The Private Aspect Of The Work, The Part I Am Most Interested In And Which Nowadays Is At Risk In Our Culture.
