Quotes

• “Like healthcare and legal representation, sustainable, resilient, healthy and beautiful living environment is not a luxury but a pragmatic necessity and a human right.”
• “Beauty is not subjective. We all know where tourists like to take photos and it is not the Australian suburbs. [...] building ugly is not an economic necessity and that beauty pays. We also know that local traditions and strong, unique character draw both tourists and new residents. But none can tell the country nor even the continent from looking at our new inner-city buildings.”
• “At the end of its life, if allowed, a home should be able to decompose into uncontaminated soil, or at least become a beautiful ruin.”
• “I'm not reinventing the wheel, I'm reminding people of what the wheel is.”
• “A building must come from the site, not to it.”
• “To be truly sustainable, buildings need to be beautiful and timeless so that future generations see value in restoring and preserving them. Abrupt fashion trends and striving for uniqueness at any cost should be avoided.”
