People live and work in uninspiring environments, but look inside those rooms. Look at the painted walls and the decorations. People rebel even in the most controlled office environment in which they're not allowed to do anything. You see the little bulletin board in front of a person's desk with their photos, clippings, cartoons and whatever else.

Erich Mendelsohn's drawings are expressive and beautiful. If he'd had the computers we have now, everything I've done he would have done before me. I would have had to figure out something else.

Image
There is an order to our environment, a broader order.
Frank Gehry
Image
The fact is I'm an opportunist. I'll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I'm searching for an idea that works.

China is building cities for a 20 to 40 percent increase in population. India is quickly growing. The carbon footprints of that and other development around the world are overwhelming.

Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.

I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.

Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.

Image
Many people put a green button on their collar and feel good, just like a lot of people put an American flag on their lapels and feel patriotic. It's not enough.

Image
Your work may be great and not make its way into the big picture... like Van Gogh... so who's to say what's good and bad?
Frank Gehry
Image
People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.

Image
There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.
