Bilbao Opened In 1997. It Was Only

When I Was A Child I Could Do Math And Art, So I Had Left- And Right-brain Capabilities. But I've Seen My Children, Who Are More Right-brained, Struggling. My Son Was Told He Wouldn't Make It To College, But He Dogged It Through And Ended Up Being Accepted By 10 Major Art Schools After The High School Advisor Said, "please Don't Apply. You're Going To Be Disappointed." That Kid's An Artist Now.

There Are Places That Are So Designed They're Unlivable.

I Never Said I Was Opposed To The Leed Program Or To Green Building - I'm Not.

You Never Build The Perfect Building. Only Allah Is Perfect. Life Is Such. You Make Decisions On Conclusions, Then Some Guy Invents Something Else And The World Changes. That's Comforting. There's No One Way To Use Museums, No One Way To Do Art. That Also Means There Is No One Way To Build Museums.

It's A Metaphor For What We're Being Told: "just Stay In The Box, Kid, Don't Muddy The Water." Parents Say It To Their Kids. Teachers Say It. Schools Do. And So People Become Immune To The Sameness.
