I was in Peru and visited a building near Lima built by the Incas. It was low in height, with no windows at all, but all the way in the back there was air movement. And I couldn't figure out how they'd done it; it was incredible.
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.
