Architecture has been male-dominated forever, and I am a grateful beneficiary of the women's movement.

I believe in planning logics where you have neighbourhoods, and you don't just do one building at a time.

We're always taught that we're building for permanence, but why? I like the idea of a prosthetic architecture! When a section is removed, the building readjusts its weight distribution, like a living body.

In the 1970s, New York was known as a place of great artistic production. Slowly, my city went from a place of production to a place of consumption.

There is a lot of pseudo-science and nonsense out there on the Internet, and everyone feels the need to send it to me. And I'm sitting there thinking, 'It isn't real! Stop it!'

I don't believe that government is good at picking technology, particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy, it's so outdated.

A lot of people in the technology space love the idea of a solving a problem.

There are two equalizers in life: the Internet and education.
