“I'm not an abstractionist. I'm not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.”

"In the forms I use in my work the contradictions are certainly there. I was always aware that I should take order versus chaos, stringy versus mass, huge versus small, and I would try to find the most absurd opposites or extreme opposites. I was always aware of their absurdity and also their formal contradictions and it was always more interesting than making something average, normal"

"Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic."

“…we think that the drawing in architecture, that is, the unconscious act, which calls logic into question, could be the “blind spot”. The coincidence that is not a coincidence, leads us to a method of design in which the drawing becomes important. Free from physical constrains, without thinking about spatial consequences, the drawing comes into being an instant, and “administrates” the building. And when you see the drawing, created in an explosive moment, you see the superimposition of plan, elevation and section. Everything is in drawing.”

"If “action painting” is produced by the dynamics of dripping, smearing, and sweeping brushstrokes of paint to reveal the complex character of abstract art, then “action drawing” would be something like juxtaposing lines, planes, volumes, typographical elements, photographs, and paper cutouts on a drawing that aims to uncover the intricate universe of architectural ideas"

"By 1979, I was making these drawings every morning. As a method of catching intuition and first thoughts it is a technique which sets the imagination free.
In the meditation associated with the initial conception of a building, its first stirring towards form, space and light, the watercolors played a crucial role: they gave intuition a primary position.
(...) Chance operations opened many paths for the composer John Cage, my next door neighbor who lived on 6th Av in NY. Cage used chance protocols to escape the tyranny of the ego. He recommended unintentional acts as key aspects of his method"
