“There are many possibilities that are still in the air that we can make happen. The architect’s job, in my opinion, is to find ways that the availabilities that are not yet here can have spaces, and those that are here already can have better environments for their maturing into that which talks to you. The spaces that you make must be the seat of a certain offering of a person to the next person. It is not an operational thing; you can leave that to the builders and operators. Already they are building eighty-five percent of the architecture, so give them another five percent. Take only ten percent, or five percent, and be really an architect, not a professional. The professional will bury you. You become so comparable. You will be praised so equally to someone else that you will never recognize yourself. You will become good in business, you will play golf all day, and your buildings will be built anyway. But what the devil is that and what kind of living is that? What Joy is there if Joy is buried? I think Joy is the key word in our work. It must be felt. If you don’t feel Joy in what you’re doing, then you’re not really alive. There are miserable moments you have to live through, but really, Joy will prevail.”
