My favorite space Bramante's Tempietto in Rome is a master work of harmony and order.

Building or place I wish I designed Santiago Calatrava's World Trade Center transit hub. Except for it being way over budget and over schedule, it is a sculptural masterpiece of pattern, organic form and light, and brings joy to passengers traveling through it.

I’m concerned about mega projects that do not relate to the people who use and travel around the buildings.

When I’m not working you can find me in my sculpture studio.
