Buildings in modern cities have lost their metaphoric aspect. Much contemporary architecture is very fragmented and busy on the outside. It's like a skin or a skull, but you don't know what's inside.

For me, architecture is not just creating a space to protect people but to make them dream as well.

My mind may be American but my heart is British.
