“Al escribir sobre arquitectura contemporánea, siempre existe el riesgo de una mayor contaminación personal y sentimental. Las arquitecturas del pasado, más distantes en el tiempo, permiten juicios menos influenciados por las prácticas o las inquietudes personales del investigador como arquitecto, lo que no sucede con los temas actuales, donde el vínculo con el presente puede ser muy intenso.”
“How is the world you live in? Or: How do you see the world? How do you bring everything together to shape your life? How do you manage your life to achieve what you want? What is your house like?“
“It all started with drawing. I have always had a passion for drawing. Drawing has been a kind of magical process for me since I was very young.“
“I am a storyteller. For me, every exhibition has a story and tells another story. In order to write the story and put it on the walls, I need to explain it and share it in a classroom or at a dinner table. “
“Because citizenship, is very important in the question of rights and duties, and of participation. Citizenship means living in a shared space. And that is where architecture comes in. And it does not come in alone, there are more people involved, landscapers, engineers…”
“Just as we had the commitment to older generations, we also knew that we had to pass the torch to the younger ones: school as continuity”
“In order to teach, we have to be charismatic, we have to be persuasive, to inspire and that is good and bad.”
“Drawing, is much more than a discipline, it is an Universe.”
