“The role of art in society differs for every artist.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.
How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It's more evident now.
The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.
Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
