I pick up my pen. It flows. A building appears. There it is. There is nothing more to say.

My work is not about "form follows function," but "form follows beauty" or, even better, "form follows feminine."

The architect's role is to fight for a better world, where he can produce an architecture that serves everyone and not just a group of privileged people.

Today, architecture is invention. It isn't enough to just be rational - It must also be beautiful.

What attracts me are free and sensual curves. The curves we find in mountains, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the woman we love.

The rule is the worst thing. You just want to break it.

Curves are the essence of my work because they are the essence of Brazil, pure and simple.

When you have a large space to conquer, the curve is the natural solution.

My architecture is easy to understand. And enjoy. I hope it also is hard to forget.

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.

Life is more important than architecture.

Today when you meet someone, try not to complain, judge or criticise. The least you can do is to give them love, joy, and put smile on their face.

The educated don't get that way by memorizing facts

I profess myself an enemy to all other joys, which the most precious square of sense possesses, and find I am alone felicitate in your dear highness love.

The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom.

Some people advise you what to do and some people forbid what not to do, but the genuine people just ask you if they can do anything for you.

My customer isn't wrapped up in labels and money.

Because when I'm a copycat I'm never good! But when I'm Eric Thomas, I'm great! I'm great at what I do!

Change is the very nature of nature.

I do think sometimes when scrolling through the TV and there's something on and I look at it and I think oh, my god. I thought I was fat? What is my problem?

Most new discoveries are suddenly-seen things that were always there. A new idea is a light that illuminates presences which simply had no form before the light fell on them.
