"I think that architecture today should reflect on the tasks and the opportunities that are specific in nature. Architecture is not a vehicle or a symbol that goes beyond its essence. In a society that celebrates the inessential, the architecture can resist counter forms and meanings, to speak their language. I believe that the language of architecture is not a question of a specific style. Each architecture is designed for a specific use in a specific place for a specific company. My buildings try to answer the questions that emerge from these simple facts as accurately as critical.
