The huge problem in our society is the enormous ignorance of the ideas that underlie modern art.
I'm often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That's impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more.
The multiplicity of ideas is what Im interested in.
Look around at day-to-day life for ideas, and it finds its way into your work.
The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking, relaxing and communicating. Architecture thinks about how these activities can be given added value.
Our idea of nature is increasingly being determined by scientific developments. And they have become decisive for our image of reality.
So we can't go backwards, we can only go where the evolutionary trajectory is taking us and attune our ideas about ourselves and our existence to that course.
