3 Anger

5 Architecture

  • 1. Even at the United Nations where legend has it that the building was designed so that there could be no corner offices the expanse of glass in individual offices is said to be a dead giveaway as to rank. Five windows are excellent one window not so great.
  • 2. To me a building – if it's beautiful – is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.
  • 3. In Los Angeles by the time you're 35 you're older than most of the buildings.
