“I believe that one cannot achieve a clear expression of our time but is capable of using clear constructive discipline. I am convinced that architecture cannot be anything other than the expression of civilization. The expression of the essence of that civilization. I usually compare architecture with language. To truly master a language, one must master its grammar. Then one could express oneself clearly. One could say very normal things in a language, one can state very logical things, and if one is a poet, one can even express artistic things in a language. And I believe that exactly the same thing happens in architecture.” Excerpt from the documentary MIES.
