The architecture of our future is not only unfinished the scaffolding has hardly gone up.
What has happened to architecture since the second world war that the only passers-by who can contemplate it without pain are those equipped with a white stick and a dog?
I like things that are kind of eclectic, when one thing doesn’t go with another. That’s why I love Rome. The town itself is that way. It’s where Fascist architecture meets classic Renaissance, where the ancient bangs up against the contemporary. It has a touch of everything. That’s my style, and that’s what my work is about.
Any work of architecture that has with it some discussion, some polemic, I think is good. It shows that people are interested, people are involved.
