"O mais importante não é a arquitetura, mas a vida, os amigos e este mundo injusto que devemos modificar". entrevista à Revista IstoÉ, edição 132, 11/02/2002
"Meu trabalho não tem importância, nem a arquitetura tem importância pra mim. Para mim o importante é a vida, a gente se abraçar, conhecer as pessoas, haver solidariedade, pensar num mundo melhor, o resto é conversa fiada."- entrevista a Isabel Murray; Portal BBC Brasil, 20 de abril, 2001
"Eu não dou a menor importância a dinheiro. Nem à própria vida. A vida é um sopro, um minuto. A gente, nasce, morre. O ser humano é um ser completamente abandonado..."- entrevista a Isabel Murray; Portal BBC Brasil, 20 de abril, 2001
"O trabalho me distrai. Na minha idade a gente não pode ficar desocupado, que só pensa besteira."- (aos 93 anos); entrevista a Isabel Murray; Portal BBC Brasil, 20 de abril, 2001
Entrevista:
theartnewspaper: You say that architecture should lead to beauty. What is your concept of beauty?
ON: An aesthetic sense of life is fundamental; every architect should possess this, and because of it I’ve changed a lot of designs at the last minute. I’ve always been prepared to go for any concession or fantasy if it results in greater visual beauty. All my solutions are basically simple, direct and visually poetic. Everyone classifies beauty in a particular way, and for me it’s everything that astonishes and moves me.
theartnewspaper: And your favourite word is “solidarity”?
ON: We have to be decent, fraternal, all that. The architect must think that the world has to be a better place, that we can end poverty. So it is important that the architect think not only of architecture but of how architecture can solve the problems of the world. The architect’s role is to fight for a better world, where he can produce an architecture that serves everyone and not just a group of privileged people.
theartnewspaper: How do you imagine a better world?
ON: Houses will be simpler. We won’t have ghettos and palaces. The great human enterprises—theatres, museums, and stadiums—will be bigger so that all can enjoy them. Now, poor people cannot participate, they only know architecture from afar.
