Asia Is Still Dominated By Skyscrapers. I

What Is Now Called "green Architecture" Is An Opportunistic Caricature Of A Much Deeper Consideration Of The Issues Related To Sustainability That Architecture Has Been Engaged With For Many Years. It Was One Of The First Professions That Was Deeply Concerned With These Issues And That Had An Intellectual Response To Them.

That Has Been My Entire Life Story. Running Against The Current And Running With The Current. Sometimes Running With The Current Is Underestimated. The Acceptance Of Certain Realities Doesn’t Preclude Idealism. It Can Lead To Certain Breakthroughs.

I Think One Of The Important Evolutions Is That We No Longer Feel Compulsively The Need To Argue, Or To Justify Things On A Kind Of Rational Level. We Are Much More Willing To Admit That Certain Things Are Completely Instinctive And Others Are Really Intellectual.

There's Nothing Dutch About My Architecture.

We Live In An Almost Perfect Stillness And Work With Incredible Urgency.
