When I concentrate on a specific site or place for which I am going to design a building, I try to plumb its depths, its form, its history and its sensuous qualities.
I design for the use of a building and the place and for the people who use it... the reputation for arrogance comes because when work is offered to me, I look whether I can find a genuine interest in quality.
Architecture is exposed to life. If its body is sensitive enough, it can assume a quality that bears witness to past life.
There is still a real need for good quality architecture, not paper architecture, but the real stuff.
