“Every year I spend one month just sailing, but I still work when I'm on the boat…” — Renzo Piano

Great American art needs the idea of uninterrupted spaces, like a loft, which itself is something very American.

The difference between a builder and an architect is that an architect also cares about desire, about dreams.

When I was a student in the '60s, I dreamt of making a house 7 feet by 7 feet, as a dream of freedom, of self-moderation.

As an architect, you cannot be so arrogant as to say you are 100% sure about what you do.
