Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.

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.

Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.
The center of Western culture is Greece, and we have never lost our ties with the architectural concepts of that ancient civilization.

And for every project, because it takes years, you can see the early drawings and collages as just a simple, vague idea, and through the years and through the negotiations of getting the permit, you see that every detail is now clarified.
Continuing...............
Limitations are not for people for whom life is a continuing quest.
Boundaries are not for people for whom life is a continuing exploration.
Destinations are not for people for whom life is a continuing journey.
Harbours are not for people for whom life is a continuing sail.
Accomplishments are not for people for whom life is a continuing
Leisure is not for those who are always indulged in work.

I hope that America as a whole, and especially its architects, will become more seriously involved in producing a new architectural culture that would bring the nation to the apex - where it has stood before - and lead the world.

In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.

All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.

My Memorial
My memorial is being built
With public fund from the Budget.
Our cultural minister’s thought
Is noble, no? If not, what?
My contributions have been listed
And on the minister’s notice board pasted.
It justifies why my name be perpetuated,
And with Socrates I have been bracketed!
Such eulogy was perhaps needed
For getting the project fund sanctioned
Great writer’s memorial is surely wanted
For culture’s sake. So it needs be funded!
When I was dying in hunger
Writhing in pain without care
In the leaking hut with no one to share
I didn’t see any guardian of culture!
Minister’s cronies want some project
Linked with the provision of funds in Budget
From which everyone can make profit.
For that I’ve been projected as a prophet!
Conceptual Sociogram(4)
After 50 years of dictatorship,
gang culture is so angry and
academic culture is even following it and
mass culture is following commercial culture blindly
so dark.

What is Culture
What is Culture?
What we think of in Rumbek
What we think of in Jerusalem
What we think of in Moscow
All different things we think, say,
Do and make at different places at the same time
What differentiate a man from insects, birds and beasts?
If you don’t have a culture
You’re a housefly
If you don’t keep your culture
You’re a beetle or cockroach
If you adopt a culture
You’re a tick
If you hate other’s culture
You’re a toad
If you don’t hate or love other’s culture
You’re real man
