Showing 23 quotesI'm completely taken and impressed by the planning authority of Singapore and its Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). It's the most cutting-edge agency in the world. They have very effective guidelines for development, and they review design as it evolves.— Moshe Safdie
My identity is always at the forefront, and I also think that every article that is written about me refers to me as an Israeli architect.— Moshe Safdie
Except for the projects in Israel, my being Israeli has contributed negatively to my global activity. It is hard for me, for example, to get projects in the Persian Gulf emirates.— Moshe Safdie
