2 Amazing

  • 1. We are really on top of one another at the moment and I think it is amazing how we stay so close. Maybe that's the test. Why not totally put yourself together rather than always wonder whether you actually like each other?
  • 2. Giving birth was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I'd been living in a Third World country and I said 'I'm going to just squat behind a tree.' I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didn't want a sterile hospital room. I didn't want doctors. I had a midwife.

4 Anniversary

5 Architecture

  • 1. You can just drift unhappily towards this vision of heaven on earth and ultimately that is what architecture is a vision of: Heaven on earth at it's best.
  • 2. Liquid architecture. It's like jazz – you improvise you work together you play off each other you make something they make something. And I think it's a way of – for me it's a way of trying to understand the city and what might happen in the city.
  • 3. The new architecture of transparency and lightness comes from Japan and Europe.
