done stuff sour
There is stuff I would have liked to have done. But there are no sour grapes.
feelings movement done
There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.
plans i-can ifs
If I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don't do it.
simple two people
There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.
experience
Let the experience begin!
ideas tables facts
The fact is I'm an opportunist. I'll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I'm searching for an idea that works.
sometimes refuse paid
I refuse to work unless I get paid, so I don't get a lot of work sometimes.
new-things
For me, every day is a new thing.
ego stuff architecture
You see a lot of so-called architecture that part of the ego trip overpowers the functionality and the budget and all that stuff.
would-be building driven
I would like to make a building as intellectually driven as it is sculptural and as positive as it would be acceptable to hope.
chicago architecture visible
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
may way bigs
Your work may be great and not make its way into the big picture... like Van Gogh... so who's to say what's good and bad?
building budgets
My buildings are all on budget.
gone wells looking-for-work
Well, I've always just - I've never really gone out looking for work. I always waited for it to sort of hit me on the head.
