A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.

There are some who are scared by unity and by building a country on the basis of ideas.

I pay a lot of attention to how things are done and the whole activity of building something is interesting.

Building is just skilled labor, I suppose. It's a lot of work. I don't mind other people building them, but the way things go together and are made is interesting to me; I like that a lot.

We could have gone with much bigger labels and more money, but we wanted to go with a company that is LA based, all in the same building, and really understands what the artists want.

I am concerned about the whole man. I am concerned about what the people, using their government as an instrument and a tool, can do toward building the whole man, which will mean a better society and a better world.

Well, by the end of the millennium, five, six months from now, we hope to somehow manage to move into a new location where we have the whole building, so we can devote space to all our activities.

We are creating a unique experience. It's starts with how you see the building from a distance.

Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.

A building is hard to judge. It takes many years to find out whether it works. It's not as simple as asking the people in the office whether they like it.

A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive.

Critics are entitled to have an opinion, but how can they judge how comfortable a building is? No critic is smart enough to judge how a building will perform over time.

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?

I wanted to improve the suburban office building; to create a great urban space in a suburban environment with all that implies about interaction, collaboration and creativity.

I've never looked at a suburban building as being a minor building and an urban building as being a major building.
