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

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.

Aside from keeping the rain out and producing some usable space, architecture is nothing but a special-effects machine that delights and disturbs the senses.
