"I do not think pure architecture.'d Architecture" corrupt ", that does not stop the project but talks with the context. That invites and encourages 'intervention of artists, or just people who live there. Architecture is not only to solve technical problems. In my building I see happy people who love them and use them. If it happens it means that what I did is right. I design a hospital where you can go shopping, take a drink or gather in meditation. Why would a hospital is a place that must be able to accommodate people who are not good and need encouragement. It may be a place I will not say loved, but not as feared, and still more integrated with the city. Perhaps these my ideas sound a bit 'hippy, but deep down many of the things that are part of the newspaper today (from the Internet to the iPod) come from that culture. Places are very architecturally defined as those that people attend more readily. Stimulates me to talk to people, discover their dreams. And what often emerges is that they want the place they live is special, different, unique. In the West we tend to do all the same city, and this does not correspond to the wishes of the people. Social value of architecture? For me it means working with people: talk, drink, draw with them. E ' as a performance, and I like it. 99% of people live in rented or bought a house already done. And the majority of quell'1%, which may choose to design your home already has an idea of \u200b\u200bthe house he wants. Only a small part of commission to an architect who understands the design of a house is like buying a work of art. That goes beyond the clichés. In fact we are surrounded by the wrong values. We are prisoners of fetishes: a bathroom like a spa, a lounge with couches and giant plasma screen on which to fall asleep watching television. In reality for most people is just a small bathroom, and leaves room for other functions. Personally I would be happy to live in a wooden hut with a minibagno, but quite a large table, which not only sit down to eat but also to draw, write, read. Most social activities take place around a table, which should be the heart of the home. Yet few people conceive of space in this way. I'd like to propose a small space dedicated to floral décor, where the vessels favorite show and spend time deciding which flower to put in that jar. Ingoraggerebbe a different sensitivity. It seems like a superficial point of view, but I am serious. The behavior of most people are influenced by what real estate agents or builders imagine that they should do or want. All this has more to do with fashion than with the desires real. We, what we really need? "
