Succession is something you make, by constructing opportunities.

Architects have the power to change the culture of how we build and how we think about resources.

Change is the one thing that everybody hollers for and longs for, but when it actually arrives, most people don't want it. It's a complex thing.

There’s something about the training of an architect that’s particularly suited to our time: it’s about bringing disparate pieces of information together in a framework. Architecture is about more than building buildings.
