There Is No Reason To Design Buildings

It Is Not The Right Angle That Attracts Me, Nor The Straight Line, Hard And Inflexible, Created By Man. What Attracts Me Is The Free And Sensual Curve - The Curve That I Find In The Mountains Of My Country, In The Sinuous Course Of Its Rivers, In The Body Of The Beloved Woman.

Life Is More Important Than Architecture.

Here, Then, Is What I Wanted To Tell You Of My Architecture. I Created It With Courage And Idealism, But Also With An Awareness Of The Fact That What Is Important Is Life, Friends And Attempting To Make This Unjust World A Better Place In Which To Live.

Architecture Is Invention.

I Was Attracted By The Curve — The Liberated, Sensual Curve Suggested By The Possibilities Of New Technology Yet So Often Recalled In Venerable Old Baroque Churches.
