1 Age

  • 1. We have become a society that can't self-correct that can't address its obvious problems that can't pull out of its nosedive. And so to our list of disasters let us add this fourth entry: we have entered an age of folly that – for all our Facebooking and the twittling tweedle-dee-tweets of the twitterati – we can't wake up from.
  • 2. We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.

2 Amazing

  • 2. I hope I'm not a tourist attraction – I'm sure that they come here really because St. Andrews is just amazing a beautiful place.

4 Anniversary

5 Architecture

  • 1. No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore is to make those sentiments more precise.
