Right Angles Don't Attract Me.

Of Course, I Have Given My Engineers Some Headaches Over The Years, But They Go With Me. I Have Always Wanted My Buildings To Be As Light As Possible, To Touch The Ground Gently, To Swoop And Soar, And To Surprise.

We Have To Have Dreams, Even If They Never Come True.

I Deliberately Disregarded The Right Angle And Rationalist Architecture Designed With Ruler And Square To Boldly Enter The World Of Curves And Straight Lines Offered By Reinforced Concrete... This Deliberate Protest Arose From The Environment In Which I Lived, With Its White Beaches, Its Huge Mountains, Its Old Baroque Churches, And The Beautiful Suntanned Women.

Architecture Will Always Express The Technical And Social Progress Of The Country In Which It Is Carried Out. If We Wish To Give It The Human Content That It Lacks, We Must Participate In The Political Struggle.

Today, Architecture Is Invention. It Isn't Enough To Just Be Rational - It Must Also Be Beautiful.
