There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear because with concrete you can cover almost any space.

The level of detail and craft is something that's inscribed within the original design concept. And so when I begin to draw I know what kind of detailing I want the building to have.

No wonder the film industry started in the desert in California where like all desert dwellers they dream their buildings rather than design them.

You can be a mason and build 50 buildings but it doesn't mean you can design one.

I think there is a new awareness in this 21st century that design is as important to where and how we live as it is for museums concert halls and civic buildings.

When I design buildings I think of the overall composition much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.

Good buildings come from good people ad all problems are solved by good design.

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.

There are hundreds of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings around the United States and in other countries too. Wright lived into his 90s and one of his most famous buildings the Guggenheim Museum in New York was completed just before his death. Wright buildings look like Wright buildings - that is their paradox.

When I was in high school my friends and I would drive out into the country to abandoned houses and structures... haha... to ghost hunt. We would scare each other so bad! We would sometimes camp out by the abandoned buildings just to scare ourselves! Such good times. The adrenaline of real fear is so cool!
