The Gap Between The Rich And Poor

My Passion And Great Enjoyment For Architecture, And The Reason The Older I Get The More I Enjoy It, Is Because I Believe We - Architects - Can Effect The Quality Of Life Of The People.

It Is My Belief That Exciting Things Happen When A Variety Of Overlapping Activities Designed For All People-the Old And The Young, The Blue And White Collar, The Local Inhabitant And The Visitor, Different Activities For Different Occasions-meet In A Flexible Environment, Opening Up The Possibility Of Interaction Outside The Confines Of Institutional Limits. When This Takes Place, Deprived Areas Welcome Dynamic Places For Those Who Live, Work And Visit; Places Where All Can Participate, Rather Than Less Or More Beautiful Ghettos.

I'm Just Saying That There Are High Quality Materials, And When We Change Them Then There Should Be A Way Of Changing Them So That You Can Celebrate That Change - Rather Than Just 'mix It Up'.

I Believe Very Strongly, And Have Fought Since Many Years Ago - At Least Over 30 Years Ago - To Get Architecture Not Just Within Schools, But Architecture Talked About Under History, Geography, Science, Technology, Art.

Architecture Is Measured Against The Past, You Build In The Present, And Try To Imagine The Future.
