The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved.
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.
Architecture is about public space held by buildings.
Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know.
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 a slow business, and city planning even slower.
Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times.
