Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It's about making the world a better place, and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it.
Well, I've always just - I've never really gone out looking for work. I always waited for it to sort of hit me on the head.
There are a lot of questions about whether architecture is art. The people who ask that think pretty tract houses are architecture. But that doesn't hold up.
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did, and I get the sweats, I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going.
Each project, I suffer like I'm starting over again in life. There's a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff.
