I Used To Sketch -

I Don't Know How To Overcome This Perception That I'm Extravagant.

One Of My Greatest Influences Is The Italian Artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

I Found Myself Starting Architecture With A Deep Social, Jewish, Liberal Conscience, And The Belief That Architecture Is For The People. It Was A Do-gooder Base; I Was Born And Raised That Way. I Was For Blacks, Whites, Italians, Poles, Whatever.

The Whole Can Be Greater Than The Sum Of It's Parts, That We All Have Something To Put In The Pie To Make It Better, And That The Collaborative Interaction Works.

I Would Like To Make A Building As Intellectually Driven As It Is Sculptural And As Positive As It Would Be Acceptable To Hope.
