我们
We always start from zero. There is no preconceived idea.
We are not interested in the spectacular. We are interested in the specific.
We believe that architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
We try to avoid what we call 'signature architecture'. We don't want to have a style.
We are interested in the ordinary. We are interested in how you can take something that is very common and make it special.
The more chaotic the world becomes, the more we need architecture to make sense of it.
The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create.
The city is the ultimate expression of our civilization.
We must listen to the site; it will tell us what to do.
We must design for the future while respecting the past.
The city is a living organism, constantly evolving and changing. We must design with this dynamism in mind.
The past is part of our present, and thus part of our future.
Chaos is part of our lives. My architecture reflects this.
Every space has its own voice; our task is to listen.
Every building is a kind of manifesto, a statement about how we should live.
Architecture is the art of reconciliation between ourselves and the world, and this mediation takes place through the senses.
Architecture is always political, because it is about how we live together.
The true architecture of our time will be one that reflects our spiritual needs.
Beauty is the oracle that speaks to us all.
We cannot not know history.
