“The physical infrastuctures of the twentieth century…have tended to operate as singular and independent systems.The infrastructures of the twenty-first century if they are to respond to impeding urgencies with respect to resources and climate change, must investigate efficiencies and symbolic relationships”

“This house works like a chessboard. The pieces move according to the rules of each object… They must always return to the starting point to restart the game… Hence the floor, which set the existing items back in front of the windows… or the paint on the walls, which reveals the discovered fragments, are the rules of the game… Amongst them, moving in an orderly fashion, are tables, books, chairs…”

“

Architects strive for a moment of perfection—when their building is finished. But as soon as that moment passes, their building begins to decay. A finished building is really unfinished, the first frame of a descent to destruction.

Architects must embrace the decay of their buildings, at least mentally. They should forget about perfection, the complete realization of their design, and understand that the only truly finished building is a heap of rubble.

DIAGRAMS OF FIELD CONDITIONS, 1996

“All grids are fields, but not all fields are grids. One of the potentials of the field is to redefine the relation between figure and ground. If we think of the figure not as a demarcated object read against a stable field, but as an effect emerging from the field itself - as moments of intensity, as peaks or valley within a continuous field - than it might be possible to imagine figure and field as more closely allied.
