« A structure must exhibit three qualities - solidity, utility and grace»

from De Architectura, Marco Vitruvio Pollione

"Even today, I believe architecture should abide by the same fundamental criteria expounded by Vitruvius two thousand years ago, while at the same time combining the golden rules of symmetry and movement with the most advanced technology and techniques available; life’s most basic needs merged with the best the modern world today can offer."
