I taught at Princeton for 39 years, and the school of architecture on the campus is the worst building on the campus.

The oldest book I have is a treatise on architecture from the 17th century.

Architecture only does part of the work. How you fill the space matters just as much, sometimes more. I designed a beach house with a continuous living/dining area, but it had to have a table in the middle to give it a visual rhythm. Every room has a foreground and a background. But you also need a middle ground - like that table - to go between.

I'm working on a school of architecture in China. It's rare that an architect gets to design a school of architecture, and here I get to do it. I'm so pleased that they asked me.

In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.

If I have a style, I am not aware of it.
