• In nature the only source of energy is from the sun. So in ecological systems everything comes from the sun through the process of photosynthesis whereas now in human built environment our source of energy is from fossil fuels, renewable, wood energy or hydro-energy but it is not from the sun. So until we are able to operate and run a human built environment by imitating photosynthesis it will be a long while before we can have a true eco-system.

• If you look into the way that materials are used in an ecological system you'll notice that you'll find that there is no waste. The waste of one organism becomes food for another and everything's recycled in an ecological system whereas in our human built environment there's a throughput system. We use something then we throw it away... We have to imitate nature and try to re-use everything we make as human beings or recycle them - when we cannot re-use or recycle them we should try to reintegrate them back into the natural environment.

• Layering and changeability: this is the key, the combination that is worked into most of my buildings. Occupying one of these buildings is like sailing a yacht; you modify and manipulate its form and skin according to seasonal conditions and natural elements, and work with these to maximize the performance of the building.

• She missed the built environment of New York City. It was only in an urban landscape, amid straight lines and architecture, that she could situate herself in human time and history. She missed people. She missed human intrigue, drama and power struggles. She needed her own species, not to talk to, necessarily, but just to be among, as a bystander in a crowd or an anonymous witness.

• El ecologista tiene una visión mucho más amplia y holística del mundo. Nos fijamos tanto en el entorno natural como en el construido por el hombre y en la conectividad entre ambos: cómo interactúan y se relacionan el entorno natural y el construido por el hombre.

• In most ecological systems you have a composite, biotic components as well as abiotic components acting together to form a whole, whereas in a human built environment most of the components are abiotic or they are inorganic. One of the first things we need to do is to complement the inorganic components with more organic components, and to make them interact to form a whole.

• I'm eternally optimistic about the future.

• Siempre me ha interesado la moda como disciplina de diseño: estructura de proporciones, detalle, materialidad, textura, color y calidad. Con un mayor interés y conciencia del entorno construido, la "tienda" se ha convertido en un componente crítico, perceptivo y psicológico del merchandising, así como de la imagen. La arquitectura y la moda son socios.

• Nuestro objetivo es convertir las tecnologías eléctricas solares en un negocio básico, como los chips de ordenador, y hacerlas omnipresentes en el entorno construido. Yo combinaría esto con un gran compromiso con la investigación fundamental en nanoestructuras para crear la próxima generación de células desmaterializadas más eficientes y baratas. Y si yo fuera realmente el zar, haría hincapié en las tecnologías del silicio, ya que este enfoque es el que menos probabilidades tiene de tropezar con limitaciones materiales a la hora de abastecer una demanda mundial explosiva.
