“Create with the heart; build with the mind.”

“Construction is the art of making a meaningful whole out of many parts. I believe that the real core of all architectural work lies in the act of construction.”

“I love doing it. Every building is like a person. Single and unrepeatable.”

“Every great building once begun as a building plan. That means, sitting in that building plan on the table is a mighty structure not yet seen. It is the same with dreams.”

“It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.”

“Truth is a fundamental principle that is needed for any form of building or construction. So also is honesty.”
