The architect’s role is to create spaces that enhance human dignity and freedom.

Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.

"You can call me artist, you can call me idol, or any other thing you want. I don’t care, I’m proud of it."
