Unlike the past decades, the present moment is lacking in architectural discourse.

Architecture is a political act, by nature. It has to do with the relationships between people and how they decide to change their conditions of living.

Architecture and war are not incompatible. Architecture is war. War is architecture. I am at war with my time, with history, with all authority that resides in fixed and frightened forms.

Architecture is about ideas in the first place. You don't get to design until you have an idea.

A lot of my work is about questioning the stability and permanence of architecture, and, in turn, the stability of society.

Gravity is the insidious enemy of the animate.

I've always been interested in the idea of the artificial landscape. Reforming the landscape. Architecture being a method of reforming the earth's surface.

No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true.

It's what's known as an origin myth. What happened to me? That's no myth.

Skill, education, money aren't the difference makers, passion is. If you've passion to achieve something, there's nothing that can stop you.

It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, because anyone who knows you knows what a great guy you are on the inside. You're honest and true.

Our house is like an empty cigarette packet, lying around reminding you what's not in it.

We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!

Yuyeh sesh. Despise your heart. Ni weh sesh. I have no heart.

I almost wish I'd had the forethought to eat a tree myself.

What matters is a good person, a good soul, someone who genuinely gives good attention to the relationships in their lives.
