The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity, especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples, no ambitions.
It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?
Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.
I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.
