• “Ideas migrate, structures grow and concepts develop in a form of architectural evolution.”
• “It is through improvisation and adaptation to unanticipated obstacles that we make our biggest breakthroughs.”
• “Sustainable ideas crystallize through an immensity of wasted efforts. ...Good ideas are sometimes resurrected from fossils of past evolutions.”
• “The work an architect gets to realize... is the result of random opportunities and chance. ...We have to respond to accidental challenges, through opportunistic , and migration of ideas. ...Often the story we tell is ...post-rationalization or hindsight.”
• “What if we could focus on examples where sustainability... increases the quality of life? Where a sustainable life isn't pain—but pleasure!”
