If I were to define myself, I would not know what I am, an ARCHITECT OR AN ARTIST. If I were to know what being an artist truly is, I wouldn’t be one anymore. I think that art is about REACTION AND DECISION but also about dealing with a lot of QUESTIONS between what you do and do not know. It’s like rephrasing the same question, but you never know what you are answering. The environment architects and artists work in, is more than a material one – physical, social, economic etc. – it is also a psychological one, a CLIMATE OF IDEAS involving the mental outlook of men, how, at a given moment, men view the WORLD AND THEMSELVES in it. One of the key terms is the need to negotiate between both PLACE AND SPACE – for architecture to acknowledge both the sheltering power of place and the indefinite promise of open space (the hut, for instance, operates through an enclosing that also opens, since the boundedness of walls and roof is what makes possible the open room within); the open is that which EXPANDS OUTWARDS INTO THE WORLD and the bounded or enclosed that which contracts inwards towards, ultimately, THE SELF.
