Since Stonehenge, architects have always been at the cutting edge of technology. And you can't separate technology from the humanistic and spiritual content of a building.
Now I have to say I'm a complete atheist, I have no religious views myself and no spiritual views, except very watered down humanistic spiritual views, and consciousness is just a fact of life, it's a natural fact of life.
I have great hope and faith, but it's a humanistic faith based in facts; you have to believe that facts exist.

Well, I just wanted to be a person. I just wanted them to keep writing me as humanistic as possible.
A lot of people don't get it, but I design from the inside out so that the finished product looks inevitable somehow. I think it's important to create spaces that people like to be in, that are humanistic.
I love and collect contemporary art and go to all the art fairs. I love Damien Hirst and Matthew Barney.

My point of view when I make a book or I make a movie is to see the humanistic point of view. The point of view of the daily life of normal people.
