I like talking to priests, to Catholics. Everyone has their beliefs.

Surprise is key in all art.

When students leave college, they are like children who know nothing about the problems of life, and don't have a political stance.

The artistic capability of reinforced concrete is so fantastic - that is the way to go.

There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space.

I am a Brazilian before I am an architect. I cannot separate the two.

Architecture is my work, and I've spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.

Architecture is invention.

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.
